Cologne Christmas Market
When I visited Germany this christmas, I brought with me the Konica II, an old 50s rangefinder that I hadn't yet used.
I took her with me on a day in Cologne but later ruined a significant portion of the negative by pulling it out of the camera without having it fully rewound. There is always something going wrong with that first roll of film in a new camera.
It was relatively straight-forward that day: I had the lens dialed in on f/5.6 at 1/125sec and that exposure worked well throughout the whole day.
The above scene is typical for christmas markets throughout Germany. A lot of stands offering grub and scented hot wine and these are generally the stands that get more attention than the ones that sell crafts.
I shot this on HP5+ rated at ASA 200. Developed in Rodinal/Adonal (1+25) for 5 minutes, this gives a very low-contrast negative, almost flat, which is however perfect for scanning and post-processing.
