The last low key church interior photo for now, I promise!! ;)
I took this one during my first (and to date only) visit to Sweden last summer. We were there only for a few hours, then we had to get going back to Helsinki again, we didn't get to see so much of Stockholm.
Normally, I have a fairly good recollection of where exactly I took which photos, even months after the fact and even when I'm unfamiliar with the region. Whenever I can't figure it out anymore, I try and see if I have any phone photos from the same place as they're geotagged.
With this one, I was all out of luck: I had no idea what the church is called, where exactly it is located and I had 0 photos of Stockholm on my phone (can you believe it?! ;))
Some "Google Maps forensics" and virtually wandering on the map starting at the Stockholm Palace eventually made me find it again.

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!

This was my third or fourth attempt to print this; it took a very long exposure to get any detail in the blossoms. The mottled effect was unexpected.
The previous upload made with this 4x5 pinhole negative was a rather grainy Lith print on expired paper. This one is a regular warm-tone print on Rollei Vintage 332 paper, slightly toned in selenium and sepia.

Sailboat moored off Babson Island. Same foggy morning - we were en route to the loop hiking trail.
Interestingly enough, Michael suggested trying the selenium toning during the processing. This is different from his usual practice of yellow split-toning, and I think it does evoke the blue in the morning fog.

I uploaded the untoned print in May this year, and I was always a bit annoyed by the very green hues of it. So I've toned the print in selenium and rescanned and spotted the scan in Gimp. Much better IMO.

On tonight's evening news, the weather man predicted we've reached a turning point for this Winter's coldest temperatures. The coming week will bring warmer temperatures and even a bit of rain. Mind you, this is the same fellow that only a few weeks ago, predicted the month of February will be colder then usual. So we shall see. In the mean time, I'll try a selenium tint on this photo from December 26th, when it was indeed very cold and snowy.

One of my first experiments with lith printing. Unpredictable and interesting if tedious process. Untoned prints tended towards a greenish yellow turning more to a coppery brown with toning.
Just back from a very short break away. For some reason this year whenever I have some leave, the weather just hasn't played ball.
My 1st visit to Porlock Weir, on a very grey and drizzly afternoon, I sat patiently as the tide rolled in, waiting for the rain to ease just enough to try a long exposure shot.
Processed with Nik Silver Efex for monochrome then added a subtle blue Selenium toner effect to the image.

Somehow, I urgently needed to make this image. Can't really explain why, but it turned as it should. I'm looking for serenity, but of a slightly disturbing kind, something might happen....
