Scan of the print I made for publication in an artsy book / magazine.
Duotone (sepia and selenium) on Ilford Multigrade RC paper
Hasselblad 503cw + 50mm lens
This picture is an instance of a mistake paying off. I took this shot with the lightmeter set at ISO400 instead of 100, resulting in my cursing and an underexposed negative. Curiously, the properly exposed shot is not nearly as interesting.
The toning was fraught with problems too. I bleached it a tiny bit, rinsed, put it in the sepia, rinsed, then put it in the selenium. No sooner did I put the print into the second toner than something began to precipitate out, making large dark flakes in the bath. I thought the emulsion was coming off and I whipped it out and into cold water. Phew! Saved, but never to be duplicated.
Test image through Aperture 3 with Nik Silver Effects applied. Image from Nikon D700 with 28-85mm zoom, output as Fuji Acros 100 with a Selenium Toner effect and edge burn. I used this film a lot, and while it looks decent, I dont think it has the same magic.

IN ENGLISH BELOW THE LINE
La Voigtländer Vitessa deu ser una de les càmeres de 35mm més inusuals de la seva època, i compta amb més d'una caracteristica força inusual.
Es tracta d'una càmera telemetrica de 35mm plegable i amb fotometre. Fins aquí res d'especial. El fotometre es de seleni d'un tipus una mica inusual però res més. Però la manera com es plega així com avança la pel·licula son especials. L'objectiu es desplega i replega rera unes "portes de graner" dobles, força inusuals. Amb tot, hi ha alguna altra càmera amb "portes de graner", com la Chinon Bellami.
El que sí sembla realment unic és l'avençador de pel·licula/carregador del obturador. Es tracta d'un gran "embol" a la part superior que funciona apretant-lo fins a baix de tot després de càda fotografia. També es plega manualment un cop s'ha tancat l'objectiu rera les "barn doors".
Per tot plegat la Vitessa sembla una curiositat amb més interès com a col·leccionisme que per a fer-la servir com a càmera, però he vist que és obviament prou valida (és una Voigtlander, després de tot). Obviament, com indica el seu nom, es força ràpida de fer anar, amb aquest llarg "carregador".

================
The Voigtländer Vitessa must be one of the most unusual 35mm cameras of its time, and it has more than one rather unusual feature.
Here you can see it folded: to see it fully deployed: flic.kr/p/2oQv5yg
It is a 35mm folding rangefinder camera with photometer. So far nothing special. The light meter is of selenium and of a somewhat unusual type but nothing else. But the way the camera unfolds and advances film are special. The lens unfolds and folds behind some rather unusual double "barn doors". There are only a few of other cameras with "barn doors", such as the Chinon Bellami.
What does seem really unique is the film advancer/shutter loader. It's a big "rod" at the top that works by squeezing it all the way down after each shot. It also can be folded manually once the objective has been closed behind the "barn doors".
All in all the Vitessa seems like a curiosity with more interest as a collectible than for use as a camera, but I've seen that it's obviously valid enough (it's a Voigtlander, after all). Obviously, as the name suggests, it is quite quick to operate, with this long "loader" rod.

Title quoted from Depeche Mode – who else!
I need to photograph more churches. When used correctly, they can hand such an amazing, ghostly, haunting, spiritual atmosphere to photos.
That's especially true for this church: ancient architecture with a few crosses outside. The lighting was perfect that day, very strong and I visited at the right time of day.
I especially like the way the shadows fall on the church's wall. I went for something that looks like what Depeche Mode sounds like (if that makes any sense) and think I did really well.
Coincidentally, it was election day here in Germany. I had just voted, it was a beautiful, warm day, so I decided it was the best time to test out my new wide angle lens that I had recently gotten to replace my (literally falling apart) Sigma 24mm. Very nice and handy little lens!
As a side note: I've finally taken more care in proper easel alignment before starting the darkroom session. Good thing I finally did, it's always a pain to notice off-sized borders/tilted images after the fact. Also, I stole the idea of printing part of the film border in order to create a thin black inner frame from Ludwig Römer, love it! ;)
