At lower left, a boat ride is drained of water and has no boats. Behind it, a small building with its steel shutters pulled down. Another building is behind that one, and behind that a small roller coaster.
Park
No cars on the roller coaster. No boats on the boat ride. Ready for winter. Kodak Starmite II, Efke R100 (127), Rodinal 1:50.
#BelieveInFilm #127Day #ShittyCameraChallenge
A ride with a pyramid-shaped base and concentric circles of metal that spin around the peak of the pyramid is missing its seats. Other dismantled rides are visible in the background, as well as stands on the boardwalk with their steel shutters pulled down.
Undone
Another ride dismantled for the winter. Kodak Starmite II, Efke R100 (127), Rodinal 1:50.
#BelieveInFilm #127Day #ShittyCameraChallenge
A miniature Ferris wheel type ride shows six arms with nothing attached to them. sitting in the middle of a concrete slab. Metal fences run around the scene in a seemingly haphazard way.
Dismantled
This ride has been taken apart and the cars put into storage for the winter. Kodak Starmite II, Efke R100 (127), Rodinal 1:50.

This was on the roll I shot for the most recent 127 day. Shutter on the Brownie was way off. I had issues with the backing paper numbers printing to the negatives. It took a bit of manipulation to get anything out of it but I do like it in a weird abstract kind of way!

I also get my first images back from the lab from the Purma Special for #127Day #Not127Day
An old wooden house with a wing made of concrete, fitted with a window of strange proportions. Maybe a former shed for hen or cows? Pispala Ridge, Tampere, Finland.
#127day photos:
On the Pispala Ridge there are lots of old houses with weird and creative structural designs. Some 100 years ago it was an area for poor and marginalized people.

The north side of the Pispala Ridge, Tampere, Finland. The Lake Näsijärvi is visible in the distance, at the front is a long wooden stairs going down. Some wooden houses are at the foot of the stairs.
The south side of the Pispala Ridge, Tampere, Finland. The Lake Pyhäjärvi is seen at the back, at the front is the corner of a wooden house with a dog in the garden.
#127day photos:
The north and south sides of the Pispala Ridge (with a doggo).
I was amazed by the lens quality of this cheap and simple 1-speed, 2-aperture bakelite camera.

The rear of the Purma Special. There are two windows, in the left is the number '1'. After taking the first image I have to wind the film so '1' appears in the right window for the second frame (and so on).
It took ages to wind the film to the first frame, but eventually the number '1' appeared in the left window.
This is ISO 200 film, and the Camera Meter app suggests a shutter speed of 1/2000s even on a dull day. I think I'll have to use it at the fastest shutter speed with an ND4 filter. #127Day
The Purma Special, an English made camera from the 1930s. Next to the camera is a roll of Crossbird Creative colour film.
After loading, the back of the camera was taped up to stop it popping open unexpectedly.
It's 12 July, or 127 Day, so it's an opportunity to load up the Purma Special. This is a camera that I've had for a couple of years now and never gotten around to using.
Loaded it with Crossbird Creative, the only C41 colour film I have, and taped up the back — just in case.
#127Day
The Purma Special, a Bakelite camera from the 1930s.
Really, tomorrow? Perfect excuse to break out the Purma Special. #127Day
French bakelite camera, a 1936 model M.I.O.M Lec Junior with a roll of 127 'Rera Pan 100' film, soon to be loaded into the camera. and the film's container.
Tomorrow is the #127day (for SI system users), meaning that I'm going to try out 'Rera Pan 100' 127 film on this little beauty, a 1936 M.I.O.M Lec Junior bakelite camera from France 😊
