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.

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.

On the way back home I stopped at Rocky Mountain National Park. It was still winter up there last May. I got a few shots before the snowstorm began in earnest and chased me out of the high country. I don't post too many heavily manipulated images, but I liked this monochrome in selenium tone... there wasn't much drama in the color version. Somewhere in my archives I have a slide of Longs Peak in color that looks quite a bit like this...
Longs Peak rises to 14,259 feet (4,346 m) above sea level, the only fourteener in Rocky Mountain National Park.

House in the old town in Steinau an der Straße, Hessen, Germany.
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.

in Moersch Eco 4812 Selenium tonę.
Punchier than the Foma version.
Liking Moersch Eco 4812. I think its going to be my go to for normal prints.
In this series the emphasis will be more on architectural shots and combining this with long exposures.
Some may question if this is architecture, I think it is, anyway it is man built.
This one is dedicated to one of my Flickr friends Joshua Wyborn. Although only being 17 he's already shown a high level of depth and maturity in his work that other more experienced B&W photographers can only dream of. His understanding of light, contrasts, tonality, mood and all of the finer skills in B&W photography is amazing for someone his age. My word, the world will hear more of him in the years to come. So check out his work.

My latest booklet “Rive Gauche” is available as a standard edition and a special edition with a selenium-toned silver gelatin print: “Musée d’Orsay, 2022” (pictured above). While all of the photographs in the book are portrait orientation, the special edition print—a ‘bonus’ image from the series—is in fact in landscape orientation, available only in an edition of just 60: www.kityoung.co.uk/rive-gauche-special-edition
"Kit Young’s series Rive Gauche is an ode to Paris that unreservedly encapsulates the feeling of being in that city. Even if you’ve never been, you’ll instantly be transported to a little café, watching passersby scurrying about their day.
Much like his predecessors André Kertész and Louis Stettner, Kit Young is a guest to Paris, invited in, time and again, to effortlessly capture the subtle glints of light and life that the city provides..."

For this version, I have gone with a split-tone (selenium) rendition, plus I have added some shadow effects, in order to ramp up the drama.
