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! ;)

I finally made a final print of this negative, taken in Orkney in 2009, as I had only made a small print when first experimenting with lith printing. Fomatone Classic (before the emulsion changed) on Easylith. Selenium toned to cool down the shadows as they had a greeninsh hue.

The black churches can make for great photographs, but I've seen a number of them and I was fascinated with the cemetery surrounding this one.

The camera has a selenium meter which operates the automatic mode. The meter still works.
The Rollei Magic gives only limited control over the exposure time. In the automatic (default) mode, f-stop and exposure time are set automatically. This also makes it hard to calibrate the meter.
In manual mode, you can set the f-stop and then do long exposures for as long as you press the shutter release. That requires a tripod. Conversely, in flash mode, even if you don't have a flash, you can set the f-stop and the exposure time will then always be 1/30 s. This is a good workaround. You can keep the camera steady for 1/30 as the leaf shutter does not induce any vibration and there is no mirror slap with a TLR.
As there was plenty of light here and I was shooting at ISO 500, there was no way I could have used the workaround with 1/30s, even when stopping down completely, so I just used the automatic mode. The shots looks slightly overexposed to me, but as the fastest exposure time is only 1/300s, I suppose the camera stopped down to f/22 and had to use 1/300, because that was the best it could do.

I toned the original print in selenium toner diluted @ 1:200 for about 2 minutes. It's not easy to see on screen, but the print has bleached slightly, the contrast has reduced a little, and the tone has become less red. I like the colour.
