"Welp, I guess today's the day for Harman's new one"

A Quiet Moment

Leipzig 07/25

A rare moment of loneliness at the basin in front of the Monument to the Battle of the Nations in Leipzig.

#photography #street #Leipzig #streetphotography #blackandwhite #people #candid #monochrome

The image captures a solitary individual sitting at the edge of a large reflecting water basin. The basin dominates the foreground, its dark waters mirroring the dramatic, cloud-filled sky above. In the background, a line of trees frames the pool, with faint figures of other individuals visible along the distant edges. The person in the foreground is positioned on a paved area, with steps leading down towards the water.

The Olympus Pen F has quickly become my grab and go camera, and as a result I'm accumulating a lot of half frame negatives.
I've found that contact sheets are not all that useful with half frame images; instead I've been trying to identify a handful that look promising and make small quick proofs. The idea is quantity rather than quality, to try and evaluate several images at once much like you would an contact sheet.
I've had a lot of fun with the process, and have had some lucky results.

Photo of a typical country scene: a wooden fence and metal gate posted along the edge of a small junction from a main road, behind the gate a grassy track runs down to a small concrete bridge and then rolls off into the distance over a field. Oh, and under a huge concrete flyover, with massively brutal (in both senses) supports arrayed down both sides of the track.

Hey #believeInFilm friends,

Harman's new product "Blue" has been leaked on Google.

Software can be hard, but it can also be funny. (Let's not judge the folks who have to deal with it too harshly :)

A new friend arrived from France today; a RealitySoSubtle 6x6F medium format pinhole camera!
As the name implies, this model takes square images (6x6) has a ring to accept a 52mm filter (F). The camera has a nice heft and feels very solid wile keeping a small form factor.
Excited to put a roll through it!

I used #PortfolioDay as my motivation to finally finish redoing my photo site: https://photos.shom.dev/

I'm am a photographer and I enjoy landscape and underwater photography. I've been shooting mostly film lately and trying to get better at developing & scanning at home, I also hope to be able to darkroom print one day. Film has reinvigorated my love for photography and I've found a great community here on the Fediverse, thank you!

The older works don't have alt-text but I'm working on adding it to all photos. Please share any ideas or feedback you have. I would also love to hear stories about folks who started in digital and have fallen deeper and deeper in the film rabbit hole process.

The middle of the lake has a small island with a handful of trees.A brown/orange pipefish in its long pointy nose in profile and its long body curves around to the back and can be seen out of focus. The fish is resting on a sandy bottom with tiny green vegetation.Black and white photo of a Jumping cholla / Hanging chain cholla with small shrubs scattered about and some other cacti in the background.
