i've lent my nikon coolscan until tuesday. so i shot this digital one for you ! :)

kinda funny how i/we've been going out almost every day since a week without any particular reason.

the following photos are trix@2000 again.

endstation "grillbar".. a place for weird people, i had like 5 curry-saussages there in the last week ..

i'm really proud of this frame, focus, exposure, composition, moment.. for being drunk it turned out great ;)


a guy trying to sleep.


we were playing cards. they shared the win, since they had the same hand. i like the photo even if i just wanted to document the tie.


i somehow emptied schefs beer.. so he poured(sp?) some of mine into his glas and forgot about the foam (lol)


lorant was out first :P


this is how i won. we both had a full house, so actually a tie.. the only card that could have changed that was the last "2".. i don't know the possibility for it but i think it's 9% or something.. it was funny to win so luckily :D


m for markus and e for expression. one of my best portraits in the morgenstern, negative wise.. not the best place to take photos ;)


1/4th here. everytime i take photos with that shutterspeed, i take a second one to be sure to have a non blurry one.. most of the times i can't make a difference but it's funny that it's often the first photo that is sharp.

hello


really liking this one (also tonewise). trix is just great material.




something stuck in lolas head..


loving the dogs expression :D


after we had enjoyed some "intoxicant(s)" we started to get entertained by this thing.




i can only say "YEEEEEEAHHHHHHHH"


someone at flickr asked me if i expose the trix on 2000 only in bad light situations or also when i have "enough" light...

i expose it on each frame >>correctly<<>

so there i had f2.8 1/125 exposed on 2000iso (+ND8 filter = -3ev > 250iso) developed 17:30min 20C° xtol 1:1 3x/30s movement.


i'm really proud of this exposure guess ;)



miriam and her contacts..


here i've used the ND again, to make the 2000iso a 250.. so i had f2.8 1/1000 instead of f8 1/1000. makes sense eh ?

starting with some bandshots.

trix400 + ND8




s'plauscherl.. this is vienniese :D


they started to bark after i took a photo, weird dogs.


one of the burggarten freaks. you know him already from an old blog post i think.



aww


nice bag !


big beer can #1


#2


one of those raver guys.. tu tu tut tata tu tut tut ta ta tat uz uz uz uz uz uz blechh uz uz zu dam dam dam dam tratratratrt dam dam dam


my fav photo from that roll probably. trix400+ND8 f2.8 1/125. reflecting sun(set)light.


dart club family


trix400 exp. on 400


exp. on 800. i like xtol ;)


plusx now.

guilty ? for the baby ?


tones :)



hipshaat. f2.4 i think




subtility at it's best. that's street art!




and #3 ! :)


more art.


miriam shortly before yawning


miriam yawning


miriam and the basil


weird people live in bernhards area.


weird people with dogs.


hola !

the first frames were taken with the olympus (om1), since the M was at the leica-store. light is entering somewhere. price for service about 400-500€. time for service about 3 weeks. nice. austria has lost it's only leica serviceman a week ago. so from now on, everything goes straight to solms, germany, wich means double the price for every little service ! yay !







folter = agony



a nazipigeon !


one good thing about slr. you can go very close ;)


back to leica M again. will shoot 3 more weeks with it and then send it to solms.

bought me a ND8 filter (-3ev) which makes the plusx125 a 16asa film and the apx100 a 12asa one :)

shooting wide open in sunlight is just ace.


i should know..


trix400@2000 le-koller method.





"women earn less". BILD dir deine meinung ! somehow strange how a completely sexist german jounral "stands up" for women.. i must say, i haven't read more than just the cover.



i like that one. grain and good tones. spot on focus. we'll see if i print.


fuji reala (leutner edition).

shooting with the ND here:


meet little james ! ;)


who needs HDR/DRI anyway ?


moizeit !


leutnersche scratch !


judo noobs ! lol


he gave me a smile. cheers buddy !


bern not so pleased about some dirty neg. maybe some DAN chlor will help ?


"wine days" in the MQ. haven't seen so many old fashoined people there ever. this is what austrians usually look like !


i just couldn't resist.



some leutnerscher dirt on the neg. i had to stamp a spirallike scratch on her face.


PX125. M6. ND8 and some incidence of light, strange effect here.



he's WILD.


f2.0 i love that filter.


this little lively creature was attacking me with a beer can !


1st try !


2nd and last one. i felt almost canned to death!


reminded me of "men in black".


these three fell from the sky like that.


haha. i love this frame..


lotsa heldenplatz action.


(HDUL)


this old pervert.. i "asked him kindly" to stop gazing and drooling on a 40ys younger lady, but had to capture his expression beforehand. his reaction was somewhat disconnected.


oh and tobi asked me to make one or two photos of his band. wohoo. it was fun actually. 12mm.. oh dude. haven't developed the others yet.


went to a party last night. it was too dark for any useful photos. 4th here:


this makes me think of "come to daddy".. scary shit.


sometimes a candle is enough for a photo. but i still prefered more than a small little flame.

i was shooting colour again. mainly because i havent had any b/w films anymore.. (now my fridge is filled again..)

also started to print colour finally. i can only say it's incredible.. and expensive.. and takes time damnit.. but it's worth it. i have never known how good selfprinted colourprints can look like.

here some negscans:

starting with kodak uc200.. saturated but kinda cheap colours sometimes.


i found that really amousing:


this too :)


that's what you can't do with b/w of course. colour has its own charm i must say.








1/8th on 200asa ;)




the next 3 frames are fuji reala. i gave the roll to the lab by accident, since i have only exposed 8 frames on it.. damnit.

i think this was jakob. we talked about photography a little, since he had a hassi and i the leica.. so that's why actually.


i realllllly like reala. may print it.


prater at its best.


superia200 ain't bad either, for a wallmart film ;)



this baby had a red bull ... hah.


this guy was mentally somewhere behind the moon... sicko !


eva and the takeaway.


a green wall. the main reason for the photo. colour ! he.


met linus by accident. thought it's nice light. nice film too. nice uberhot guy.. so i took a photo.



the light was definately awesome.





and superia1600 a few frames:

i love taking photos in my kitchen at night.. best with trix or neopan.








eva minutes before leaving vienna to paris. 14h trainride, i have done that before, next time i'd fly ;)


from the hip one


and again. this time 90° hipshot, very funny.


too bad that i was eating a kebap.. i would have cought him better probably. (one hander)


classic frame.


nosepicker !!


this guy took photos of foreigners, with a small digital and flash.. i asked him to give me a look too :B. took this one walking the stairs while he was on an escalator.



125px. this time correctly developed ;)



the infamous ZIPP aka ZIPF! a place you only go if there is no other alternative. it's rare NOT to see some puke in front of it.


the lady to the left was so moved by the babies cuteness, how cute !


how subtile !


sebastian, a heisse !!




scrub-gangsta





sx70. nice camera but since there is no more real (not expired or pseudo ND-filter) film for it.. it's just something to look at anymore. polaroid is way to expensive anyway and doesn't really pay off i think.


PX at its best. print !?






next time, colour again !?

haha. i'm such an idiot. i had two rolls to develope. a plusx125, exposed on 125 and a tmax400 (expired) also non pushed.

so i thought, i'd develope the tmax at 22C° to get more contrast, since expired films tend to lose contrast.

so i put in the developer (8:30min tmax) and (8:15min PX) so almost same times.. and started to move the tanks. i moved the tmax 4-6times every 30seconds and the PX 2-3times every 30 seconds...

when i finished the developing process.. i realized that i developed the PX on 22C° with way too much movement and the tmax400 with 20C° and not enought movement.. in the end i have got a PX that looks like a slightly overexposed apx100 and a tmax400 that is pretty okay for the sircumstances... i didn't wanna believe though what a jerk i've been today..

so now to the photos, starting chronologicaly with the first part of the tmax400:



more prater people:


this is maybe my most favourite frame at the moment. check out the boys expression too !

will definately print this tomorrow.


two lonely figures.


james, tanya and brAndy @ geeking in the subway.


hm. i like these human symmetry photos. i did straight lines even.. that's luck probably :D


a dog or a "hunti" "a so a siases hunti!!!"

i don't like dogs.
very rarely i like them.
only hot, in bread with some spicy mustard when i'm drunk and hungry at 5am.


another dog. i think this must be printed. he was so old, he didn't want to stand anymore. somehow a part of me must like these creature though, since i take so many photos of them..


i remember this frame. i was almost too tired to focus.. i rarely shoot in the morning.. only when i come home drunk at 5am.


visited my grandparents. my grandfather uses to collect all kind of useless stuff.. this imitation of a digital handheld video camera says "1000x optical zoom" i found that pretty amazing. that's like from 12mm to 12000mm i could use that lens sometimes, especially in that size.

it's a lighter by the way...


my mother, i was playing "space farm" by primus at maximum volume. you should try that too !



now to the plusX:







i'm making more and more hip and other shots without looking through the finder. it makes photos possible you usually can't take.. they always turn out pretty perfect.. that's cool !



haha.. totally overexposed.. will print it though, i'm curious about the grain.


eva and i had some MC-food. she had some indian stuff. pretty good actually. these photos look like apx100 to me.. that's so funny.


dogs again.. and eww those highlights... well that happens when you develope a plusx on 500 instead of 125 :|


sometimes the film didn't care about the wrong developement.. i really wonder how kodak was able to create such a great film actually.


we walked around in the city and sat down here and there. she took a polaroid of me. polaroids are fun, but i don't like to use it in most cases.. just not my type of thing.


i did one of her too. we both look as cool as ice (expression wise)


i printed this one already. i was curious about the tones, since this neg looked pretty overexposed because of the developement. printed on grad 2, looks like a apx100 at grad 3, crazy.


he smiled at me. somehow i was expecting that. i dunno why.


i also love this frame.. this asks for a ferrotype glossy print !!


i cut the lamp!!



eva and i in the escalator of markus house.. it's the smallest i've ever been to.


on the streets again




this poor guy seemed to be forced to sit in that ridiculous buggy by his parents.. i mean come one, he seems like old enough to walk on his own.. i felt bad after taking the photo because i probably made him feel even worse... they spoke american english, probably some paranoid people.


we went to starbucks later.



typical for starbucks. you only see the top of people behind those huge (but great) chairs. i loved his gaze.


gnato joined us.. it was pure coincidence that he and a friend have also been there. really funny accident !


i had this idea. asked eva to capture it.. good focus and exposure :P



ps: here is the crop: hot.

two trix400@2000 again.



we've been to the "merry monk" pub the other day. tanya had her first "jägermeister". strange that she even liked it...



we went to their hotel later. it got late. so i decided to take the chance and sleep at their sofa.. it was comfortable like a stone actually.


the first thing i saw (and smelled) waking up was this wonderful foot !


(*add yet not developed daylight film photos here*)

next thing on the roll was the way to a restaurant as far as i remeber. vienniese underground action !!!!!


oh yeah. we went eating mexican


eva finally arrived in vienna.. she has been a bit confused and probably scared, cause she didn't know me.. and i came towards her taking a photo of her and then said hello.. james was upstairs (see next photo) so she didn't find him. kinda funny.


hello james ! there you are !


back at the mexicans !


everyone tried to get some fruits out of the wineglasses.



back on the way to their hotel. some random guy.


tanya


tanya (1.20m) and james (2.20m) well.. it seem like



haha. i love how i "stole" evas attention from brendy :P


random woman. nice pattern i thought.


random nice lady. her shirt says "geh zum henker" which means something like "go to hell" but really in a bad way.. i found that pretty cute. focused on her, but had to hold the camera far up high to the right and guessed composition because tanya was covering the message on the girls shirt.. so i'm pretty happy with the result.


random couple..


we went to the darkroom too.. took this shot at probably 2am or something. they and i have been really tired already. hey tanya ! it was a pleasure to screw up your film !! (M90!!) ;)


on the way home. 1/4th ! ;) i wanted the overexposure. something to print i'd say. glad it's sharp like a needle.


next roll.

again starting in their hotel room. we're about to go to a restaurant. an austrian this time ! fat, meat, cheese food and beer, you know..


somehow james thought he'd look cool with some paper in his nose.. no we actually had a very bad fight.. and i nearly broke his nose.. i lost a testicle though. this bastard !


this lift was great.


brendy was tired the whole evening. those trams are really comfy i know.


random people and a small imitation of a dog.


hipshot of two ladies with their MCflurries in the subway. 35mm f2.4 1/60 2000asa 0.95m distance guessed. worked out. i'm glad. they were pretty annoyed by the whole geek group with cameras.. nice.


at the restaurant. we ordered a table for "geeks" .. not really. but next time i'll do.



eva being happy about catching a beer mat !


brendy and the lipgloss. (long story)


we went to play some pool later. i was really guessing expsoure there. kinda worked. i like the outcome.


and then we went to the morgenstern. you know. the ususal place we go to..


what a werid photo.. it's just so freaky.


the emo side


markus. not being overexposed here.


eva and my glasses. nice try ;)


way home again. (after we got almost arrested by the police twice.. long story)


just liked the contrast.


had a frame left. 1/4th once again

starting at the naschmarkt. those english girls came over to vienna. so there was a little devmeet-whatsoever tour through the very best parts of vienna.


cute.


lady trying to eat a balloon ?


schamhaar taking a photo of something. one of the deviants !


outside again


some had ice cream others had pizza.. of course i took the opportunity !


next location. it's sprint it seems.


allmighty mr.zort joined us. i don't remember the story.. i just remember i released the camera on my hip since he was so very retardet !


a vienniese grumpy lady and some turkish toursim advertising. what a combo.


bernhard really loves the prater ! <3


at the schweizerhaus the english ones got to know more about austrian culture ! deviants and cameras.


trying the 50/2 voigtlander here.



and here.


our celeb, shooting a really big pig.


the riesenrad, sunset and two who turn around for me.


prater people.


i would probably kill someone because the tmax100 i exposed perfectly and developed correctly turned out like 3 steps underexposed.. it's all about the storage probably.. better you know where your film comes from.... anyway.. here some really bad negatives.








james. the girliest girl of them all !


that's just hillarious.


trix2000 again. my speciality.

random shot of a friend. kinda weird.


3 vienniese ladies. oh bernhard !!!!



guy in front of a cinema, eating nachos, wearing some kind of 80s flip flops.. lugner city what a nice place


after the cinema, we watched pan's labyrinth by the way, we decided to eat dinner.. so i cooked some midnight meal.. we had to be silent and eat in the kitchen because our guest have been tired allready.. not the english ones, german ones this time..


we've also been to NIN. this was on the way home after the concert.


decided to join linus at a party though.

first impression. people painting on th walls with shoe cream !


second impression.. a guy trying to fix the toilet. the question is, did he wanna puke or piss ?


3rd impression. a few graffiti animals in the bathroom


4th impression. a hole in the wall !


5th impression. a guy trying to fight for no reason.


6th impression. someone making the whole bigger !


7th impression someone got rid of the mirror..


8th impression 4 police cars joined our party !


9th impression.. a fight starting


unfortunatley my film ended here... i went home then, since there was no more reason to stay for me..
