Some days ago I asked you HERE about something I tried on my blog, integrating photos uploaded to SmugMug as a slideshow in the gallery part of my site. Thanks for the numerous comments and for trying it out. It appears that either, the photos are not appearing, not due to SmugMug but when you’re behind a company firewall blocking these sites – anyways, you … Continue reading Something New – back to the old stuff!
P.S.: I reverted to the ‘old’ style gallery as there were too many inconsistencies with using SmugMug in conjunction with this blog. Hi all, I try something new in the GALLERY! <– click on this link or on the Gallery in the Menu. A link to an album I uploaded to SmugMug. Can you just get back to me and tell me if it’s OK, … Continue reading Something New

I had an appointment at the hospital as I will undergo some surgery on my right foot in exactly two weeks, and I took the opportunity for a nice walk, although my foot hurt a bit. I’ll have to take it slow, photography wise in the next weeks / months as I won’t be very mobile. But I won’t leave you alone, oh no! Unfortunately you’ll have to continue listening to my ravings as I will certainly find things and old photos to bore you to death with 😉 .
This time the Olympus XA2 accompanied me once again. My faithful travel companion! Loaded with Kodak Tmax 400.
First a disclaimer: I do not like the Lomography Lady Grey film! Either made by Foma, Kodak or anyone else. I don’t care. I don’t like it!
That being said, it was the only roll I had lying around…. got to buy some film, really. So I loaded it into the Praktica MTL 5 B and went out for a walk. About one hour later I was back, developed and scanned the film and now, after 4 hours (no I did not spend all that time on the film!), I can write this post though I’ll only publish it tomorrow… that’s today, as you read it, but for me it’s still tomorrow….. confusing stuff!
I remember very well when I was young, about sixteen or seventeen and I hunted the Photography stores for my first SLR.
Google is our friend!
Google finds everything!
Google is the repository of humankind’s knowledge!
So when I want to find something, normally photography related, I use Google. What could I want to know this time… let’s see.
Ah yes:
Hey Google, what was the first photograph?
Google takes about a second and Google got the answer:
Using a digital camera like a ‘real’ one!
Let me make a quick excursion into the world of digital photography once more. An attempt I made some time ago to test out the waters of the dark side.
You might already have guessed from some of my posts that I don’t own only film cameras. I came upon an incredibly good deal some time ago. A deal on a Fuji X-E1 digital mirrorless camera from a camera shop in the UK. The price was very good and the camera, when it came, was perfect. Like new. No used traces at all!
Nothing photography related today, just a small piece on a place where we had a really memorable little meal in Berlin.
What do you eat in Berlin?
Kasseler mit Sauerkraut? Königsberger Klopse? Kohlrouladen?
Apart that all those things start with a ‘K’ it does not sound too mouth-watering, does it?
No, when you are in Berlin, by all means….. eat Vietnamese!
Sometimes it’s the small things in life that make you think and grab a camera. Continue reading Unmade Bed
With my deepest apologies to the Master!
