Like the old days


After scanning those negatives from 1967 I thought how nice it would be to make some new photo's with that creamy silk appearance again. In a cupboard on the attic I grabbed an old Rolleicord and put in some film from ilford. How about the blossom of this apple tree (cropped). Indeed the effect I was looking for.

I was forgotten to always use a lens hood but I am still pleased with this selfie result.
I think that for some occasions I am going to use that old film camera again. It is also nice to have to wait 2 weeks before you see a result and to only have 12 photo's to think about instead of the endless stream of digital.

  1. I have a soft spot for Rollei cameras, I have a T which stil produces lovely images....

  2. For years I processed my own b&w film photos. Still have a darkroom in the basement, but have not had chemicals in it in years. Not sure I want to go back to film, but your photos do have a unique quality not seen with digital. Good for you!

    1. I have also still a darkroom but scanning and going further on the computer makes it much more easier. Perhaps I going to develop the film again but am not sure yet. Still to photograph with a 6x6 is very pleasant and with a great result.

  3. Just imagine if the kids of today had to wait two weeks for the photos from their iPhones.
