For the first time, I took a ride with a friend and we visited roads I'd never seen before. On one of those roads, we encountered this small lake, reflecting a sun-setting sky.

Yes, I know it's grainy and soft, but I scanned it from a negative I exposed in 2008, - and the negative was not in great shape.
It was scanned using VueScan, a generic scanning software, that actually works better than the firmware that comes with the scanner!

Batu Caves. Located close to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Batu Caves is a popular tourist destination located in Selangor, Malaysia, just outside of Kuala Lumpur. It is known for its limestone hills, caves, and the Hindu temples within them. The site is considered a sacred place for Hindu worship in Malaysia and attracts both religious devotees and visitors interested in its natural and cultural significance.
The main highlight of Batu Caves is the Temple Cave, also known as Cathedral Cave, which is accessed by climbing a steep flight of 272 steps. The cave is a large and impressive cavern with high ceilings and a Hindu shrine dedicated to Lord Murugan, the Hindu deity of war. The cave is illuminated by natural light that filters through openings in the ceiling, creating a mystical atmosphere.
Outside the Temple Cave, there are several other smaller caves and shrines within the complex, including the Dark Cave, which is a conservation area that houses various species of bats and other creatures. Visitors can take guided tours of the Dark Cave to learn about its unique ecosystem and conservation efforts.
During the annual Thaipusam festival, Batu Caves attracts a large number of devotees who participate in a grand procession, carrying kavadis (ornate structures) on their shoulders as acts of penance and devotion. This vibrant festival is a spectacle to witness and showcases the religious fervor of the Hindu community.
Batu Caves is not only a place of religious importance but also offers stunning views of the surrounding area. From the top of the steps, visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the city skyline and the natural beauty of the limestone hills.
Overall, Batu Caves is a significant cultural and religious site in Malaysia, combining natural wonders with Hindu spirituality. It offers a memorable experience for visitors interested in exploring the unique blend of nature, religion, and cultural heritage.
A new lens means an obligatory drive around the countryside, can't use the lens before testing it. Why not test the unknown lens with equally unknown film, which expired some 16-17 years ago!? What could possibly go wrong!? Well, at first, somehow I managed to turn the manual ISO override to 6400, which took me half of the roll to realize that. After that, I reverted ISO override to box speed, like the film didn't sit somewhere for the last decade and a half. That could explain the non-linear tonal response of the film - those shadows are pretty dark!

Hwy. 41, just outside of Copper Harbor Michigan. This is part of one of the most beautiful autumn drives anywhere.
This is from a film negative taken with my old Pentax K2. Copied with an Opteka slide/film copier attached to my Canon XSI. The resultant RAW file was scaned with VUESCAN, and the JPEG from VUESCAN was finished in GIMP. Seems a fairly quick and inexpensive way to digitize all my old stuff, and finally get rid of some of the junk I have accumulated over the years. Well, not so quick and easy, as I am still getting used to the process.
close your eyes for a moment, and listen to the sound rain drops on the ground.

I like Industar10, but my FED2 have critical trouble with the shutter curtain now.
It is cruel decision for me but if the repair costs too much , I gotta get another one ( Leica IIIf ? lol )
And another one: an older negative, printed only now!
I've found this one a bit difficult to print so that it hits my vision for it just right. After quite a few different prints, I ended up with this one and love it a lot. Especially the softness and creamy tone, pure eye candy.
Never before have I used a two bath lith process but I recently read quite a bit about it and decided to try it for myself with this print. To be honest, I couldn't tell you why I mixed my 2nd developer like I did, I was just told it would make sense that way ;)
As was expected, the paper lost its nice and strong warm color in the second developer but I managed to get this nice creamy tone still.

The Apo-Summicron 2.0/75 Asph. is sometimes criticised for being too clinical, devoid of personality. Yet, personality sometimes equates to flaws, and I do appreciate the "straightforward" look of the images it produces, no decoration, WYSIWYG. I find its bokeh out of this world.
I think that the fine grain of the Slvermax film gives the bokeh of a very nice feel.

I've been to a used car fair, not far from where I live. A lot of cars were for sale, but the best cars weren't for sale!
That's a Mercedes-Benz W115, a 1973-1976 facelifted model, and it looks immaculate.

Funnily enough, the very kind person I bought my enlarger from pointed me to this spot for photos. I made quite a few nice exposures there, this being one of them.
I enlarged this negative onto a paper I hadn't yet worked with before, Labaphot Labaspeed AS 314 PE. I wasn't sure that it would work at all, the box I have was given to me by a friend and I guess it was made some time in the 1980s (judging by the postal code given on the box label). I thought it might've been fogged to hell and back but it wasn't! In a previous lith test (yesterday), it didn't seem to develop any image at all but I suspect it might have not been the paper's fault, I imagine it could lith, judging by statements given on the box – "Das PE-Papier mit Barytqualität" and the fact that it doesn't include any development-enhancing chemicals. I guess another test will show.
I must say that I love how this print looks in person, I think the scan doesn't do it enough justice. I've found that to be typical in the domain of scanning darkroom prints but it's especially so with this one. The finish quality is excellent, probably the best pearl finish I've seen to date. The ever so slight color hue and soft rendering of tonal gradations, it's just beautiful to witness. The paper might look really well with a bit of selenium toning from what I can tell/was told. There's some selenium toner on its way to me, we'll see!
Some dodging was performed here, there's some telltale signs if you look closely enough ;)

Traditionally, I go for a walk every Easter day after the family lunch. This time, I went for a walk around the nearby lake, the one I used to visit on a regular basis. Walking there, I realised it's been almost four years since the last time!

A walk under the famous Spaghetti Junction of Birmingham, UK, in early May 2015.
Officially known as Gravelly Hill Interchange, Spaghetti Junction is junction 6 of the M6 motorway where it meets the A38(M) Aston Expressway in the Gravelly Hill area of Birmingham, England. The interchange was opened on 24 May 1972. It covers 30 acres (12 ha), serves 18 routes and includes 4 km (2.5 mi) of slip roads, but only 1 km (0.6 mi) of the M6 itself. Across five different levels, it has 559 concrete columns, reaching up to 24.4 m (80 ft).
Taken with Yashica Mat 124G, medium format twin-lens reflex film camera, with its Yashinon 80mm F3.5 lens, on Ilford HP5+ 400 black and white film. Developed in Kodak Xtol, 1+1 dilution, some six years after the photos were taken.

Tmax instead of Trix ? hmm...
anyway, Holga is so-called toycamera, but fun to shoot.

T-max初めて使って現像してみましたが、なかなかいいですね。でも Tri-Xのほうが好きかな。
Holga、所詮はトイカメラだけど楽しいですね、うん。プラスチックとガラスレンズを使い分けたり、とか。雨の日はプラスチックでしょうね。

One of my first ever analog photos! Jokingly, I bought the last single use camera they had at some souvenir store on my visit to Bavaria back in 2015. The cashier told me something like "oh but this is still film, you know, no one buys that anymore". I didn't care much, bought it, shot with it, then mostly forgot about it. I had it lying undeveloped in some closet for a few years until I actually had it developed by a local drug store chain. And so, my analog journey started.
It was only recently that I came across the negatives from this camera again while looking through old photos. This one was a stand-out shot to me, it just worked. Originally, it was a color photo but I had the idea of trying it as a lith print in b/w – and so I did.
This was by far the longest photo paper exposure I've had to date. The negative was pretty dense thanks to heavy fog plus it had the brown/orange color masking too.
I've made three different lith prints – including this one. Still have a hard time deciding which is the best but this one hits my original vision the closest, I think.
With its super fuzzy and unsharp look, I kind of wish I had kept the camera itself... makes for very interesting, artsy shots!

Monumen Nasional in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Known as the National Monument Tower, standing 450ft tall, built in the 1960s to symbolise Indonesia's fight for independence. The top is plated in 35kg of gold. It is possible to have a grand view over the city from a platform near the top.
"During the 50th anniversary of Indonesian independence in 1995, the gold foil was recoated and increased to 50 kg of gold foil." - Which is a lot!
There are many corners on roads passing through villages of my local countryside, each with dilapidated houses nearby. This is one of those corners, I visited it with my father in early November 2019.

I like how the rails and the horizon almost "meet up". This shot was just a quick snap to finish off a roll of film. The light was fading quickly, I should probably have given it a stop more light. I think it still turned out quite nice :)
