He aclarado la foto porque estaba bastante más oscuro… así que subiendo luces para salvarla. Y también mínimo recorte porque con esta lente tan angular y no ser reflex y poder ver por el visor lo que ofrece la lente aún se me cuela a veces parte de la mano en la fotografía, que aún asoma ahora ya casi imperceptible por debajo.

Die'Belgische Tankstelle' bei der NS-Ordensburg Vogelsang

Taken from the Humber Bridge, Hessle Mill and the country park. This mill was (unusually) not for grinding corn but for crushing chalk, so this is also known as the "Whiting Mill". It was built around 1810, the sails and cap were taken off in 1925 after which time it was powered by an engine. It finished production in the 1960s. Once upon a time it had five sails. It's now restored and re-opened as a visitor centre.

Mir läuft immer einer ins Bild. Erst hat es mich geärgert, dann fand ich diese Ablenkung vom Hauptmotiv ganz interessant.
Das Bild wurde in die Gruppe "Offen und Ehrlich" hochgeladen zur ausführlichen Bildkritik.

The Voigtländer company likes to recycle the trademarks. The Bessa name was applied onto a variety of cameras, some of which shared no common lineage. Although Voigtländer bankrupted in the 1970s, the company that took over its name in the late 1990s in Ringfoto and continues the tradition of recycling product names. They just licensed the name to Cosina, which has come out with a very nice line of 35mm rangefinders using the Bessa name.

Another one of the Bessa Skopar images taken with Bergger Pancro 400, developed by 2 bath Thornton technique.
This is a technical test: experimenting with Bergger Pancro 400, developed in the Thornton 2-Bath developer to see if it's a suitable combination.
Bath A; 13 minutes
Bath B: 5 minutes.
The Bath A went much longer than typical because Pancro 400 requires significantly longer development times than most other films. This 13 + 5 time gave me very good overall density, but a bit excessive contrast, with the brightest values going a bit too far, I think. Next time I would drop the Bath A time to 10 minutes.
In all, a good experiment and reasonable results.
This was using the pre-WW2 Voigtlanger Bessa: 1/2 second at f16 with a medium yellow filter. Apertures larger than f11 deliver rather poor results with this f3.5 Skopar, unless you like the "toy camera" look in your work.
