Color photograph of green bins that say & Shoes Donation Center beside which ther is a large green dinosaur toy and a baby chair with all kinds of colorful distracts lays on the dirt ground.

#TLRTuesday has been all Black&White Mamiya today, here's a touch of color from the Rolleiflex with a lens made way before color photography was available.

Edit: as @sree pointed out color photography is older than 1935. I meant to say before it was available for this lens but that may not be true either, the first Kodachrome is a contemporary. What is true is that this lens was definitely not designed for color photography as a primary format. The more you know 🌈

Color photo of a cherry tree in blossom on a very overcast day with the tree covering most of hte frame, to the bottom left of the frame there are two people with longer hair and plastic headband with fake pink flowers posing for a camera off-screen. The bottom of the frame is a body of water and distant trees on the other shore. The whole image is a soft pastel haze.

#TLRTuesday

I really liked this little door/patio area with all the geometric shapes but with some organic greenery reflected in the glass. I couldn't figure out a good framing to highlight that juxtaposition; didn't want to lurk too long and freakout the residents.

Color photo of a patio and door with two narrow vertical windows reflecting some distant greenery. The whole scene is brown and gray and surrounded by vertical slotted railings causing a lot of shapes and shadows at once geometric but chaotic. The number on the door is 119 in shiny lettering. *** Shot with a Rolleiflex Standard1935 and ZeissTessar75f3.5 lens, on KodakGold200, and developed with BelliniC41 by Shom Bandopadhaya.

A street vendor's cart has some tin roofing under which are an assortment of cooking and storage scattered around bottles of BBQ sauces and soda cans. There are people miling around in frame but not in focus and the vendor in a blue shirt is holding up a lid with tongs in hand, all serious about serving up some delicious BBQ. *** Shot with a Rolleiflex Standard1935 and ZeissTessar75f3.5 lens, on KodakGold200, and developed with BelliniC41 by Shom Bandopadhaya.

Going back to a sunny day in San Francisco for #TLRTuesday. I was running low on frames and wanted to take a shot of both the red berries and the path, fairly happy with the outcome.

(It does look better before sRGB jpeg export -- richer but I don't want to oversaturate the colors, especially given how most screen are over saturated to begin with. I'll just mail you a print, that's the only solution.)

Revisiting a hazy/foggy day from last spring for #TLRTuesday. I have a few more from this roll but given what the light and weather was like, I would have been better off if I had loaded b&w film.

#Caturday

This cat was sunning on a very cold day in a narrow alley that probably gets no more than a couple hours of winter sun. I wish I could have joined in on the inside with a cup of coffee and a friendly cat while my fingers were practically frozen on the metal shutter release button.

I took this photo a couple years ago and I still can't quite figure out which way I was looking up or down when shooting this subway entrance roof. It's kind of fun to forget what I shot a while back and rediscovering the scene again (that's how I'm justifying my backlog okay!)

A color photograph of abstract geometric shapes which upon closer inspection reveal they're metal trusses holding up glass window panes at some interesting angles. The perspective is rotated from vertical to horizontal but the shapes still don't quite make sense as a triangular roof with panels. The photo is cooler on the left side and warmer on the right.

It's #TLRTuesday (yes, I am trying to make fetch happen)!

I've been lucky enough to be in San Francisco multiple times but I've only experienced this perfect of a day only on a handful of times. I can feel the warm sun and the cool breeze when I recall this scene.

Late submission for #FensterFreitag!

Following the workflow kindly shared by @petrikas but still need to learn a lot more about the AgX style editing and get the colors to be natural to the environment and the film stock. Also, another reminder to get your shots ready for #TLRTuesday :sloth_heart:

An older model electric blue Camaro is gleaming in the sunshine, through its open window you see a person looking at the camera, their face partially lit by the sun. Through the windshield and other open window and above the low-rider car you can see a tourist pedicab with a white awning and a colorful bubbly sign spelling out LUCKY. There are trees and other cars in the background under a blue sky.

I had a nice discussion last week (?) with some film folks about how we're looking for a more positive spirit event like #FolderWeek to get us to shoot and share more work with vintage film cameras and we settled on TLRs (Twin Lens Reflex) cameras. So here's the inaugural #TLRTuesday post (hashtag is still under work-shopping)?

Also an homage to #TrainTuesday, I sadly don't have enough regular train access to keep going, but maybe someday.

Last year, I was trying to take this #FensterFreitag photo but could not find a good framing of just the windows until I realized that it was only interesting to me in context of all the white and blue in the entire frame. It was nice to just relax and notice other interesting things which is when I got lucky with the biker and the bird filling in the frame.

A color photograph of a bright sunny day with a cloudless blue sky framing the top of a small eatery with a round sign that says "Pier 23". The eatery has white walls with blue windows and some red outdoor dining chairs in front next to big potted green shrubs with purple flowers. The sidewalk stretches into the distance and has a smattering of walkers and a person in a gray hoodie on a bike in the mid ground right below a white seagull. Whole image is just variations of white and blue with some accents of other colors.

I was really struggling anyway to take a shot of Alcatraz from that far away with effectively a 35mm focal length. The island looked tiny in a big frame with nothing interesting around it. But as I was taking the steps down towards the bay, I caught this frame and I'm glad I decided to take the shot on a whim. While taking this shot is when I realized that I probably goofed the last one, but I didn't want to climb back up the hill to see if the red bus was still there.

There is one larger opening in the middle of all the chaos that opens up to the background where Alcatraz island can be seen in the Bay waters and the hillside and a few clouds behind it on the other side.

I wish I could claim I intended to do a double exposure. In fact I suspected I had accidentally double exposed a few minutes later when taking the next shot once I had left the area. I'm glad this has turned into a happy accident with the Coit Tower in the background and Alcatraz above the grill.

Overlayed on it is another exposure of Alcatraz island in the distance, which is sitting right between the windshield and grill of the bus. The Alcatraz exposure has a some trees on the right that are faded in the sky and some purple flowers in the foreground which now looks painted onto the bus.

A storefront window with a lot of to-go containers piled up in the window which has a blue and white striped awning partially lit by the sun. The building has a red brick facade with a partially visible sign that is golden lettering on blue background that says "Provisions". The contrast of the different blues, gold, and red are at once vivid but not that colorful.

The side of the brick building is painted yellow but weathered, the front has has a set of large windows with many smaller glass panes. The glass panes are different hues of blue almost like a paint swatch ranging from cerulean to dark gray.

Color of a red door with two panes each with a glass window. Above the door is is another horizontal pane of glass with the words "COMMERCIAL STREET" emblazoned in gold. The door has trim decoration a heavily patina'd copper door handle and some shiny bronze splash guards at the bottom. The opposite side of the street is reflecting a nondescript scene of an alley, the reflection of the photographer is missing. The vibe is of by gone glory fallen into disrepair.

The colors are very rich and bit wild with the Harman Phoenix color film reversal. Getting a hang of how I'd like to do the edit so the character still shows while controlling for the light source and scanning. I think that the "White B&W" light setting (5000K) with the same color balance on the camera might be the ticket for the most part. I'll be more meticulous with the next roll I shoot with the intent of color reversal, possibly this weekend.

A bunch of sunflowers are in green plastic buckets with some other colorful flowers in the blurry background. The focus isn't on a particular flower but the image is very vibrant and soft in the front, sharp in the middle, and falls off to softness in the background. It evokes more of a sense of a place and time than the actual flowers in the scene, a warm summer farmer's market scene.

Had a good chat with the balloon artist while finding a good moment. I'll need to go back and take some proper portraits since he was keen as I was leaving and passed along his card.

A balloon artist is crafting a balloon creation with multi color long noodle-like balloons while wearing a tall and bright balloon crown on their head. A blue sky and is poking through around a lot of trees in the out of focus background.

Test roll during sunset that got unexpectedly cloudy so I had to go with a slower shutter than what I could steadily handhold; combine that with quite stale chemistry and I did not think anything would turn out, glad something did.
