Millennium bridge and St Paul’s shot recently on 1940’s Bellows camera and 120 film #vintagefilm #kershawcamera #bellowscamera #120film #londonstreetphotography

some wetlands with a grassy shore, and a slightly leaning telephone pole, with a wire hanging over the water

From another roll of film I got back today. This was taken with a #Voigtländer Bessa folding camera.
The previous batch I took with this had a lot of poorly focussed shots, so I was worried that something was up with the camera. These mostly came out pretty well […]

two trains with a central platform

a cement bench, with embedded leaf patterns, on a woodsy walk

Rounding out the roll. Two VTA trains at Mountain View, with a bit of a dramatic sky, and a cement bench at Sequoia High School, Redwood City (it's a nice campus).

Only time I've ever taken film pics in my office. I wasn't invited to this party but I got nice pictures out of it.

Some more #Voigtländer shots from around SF. If you walk around the City with a camera you're going to take a picture of a cable car sooner or later. This is at the Powell & Market turntable.

View under the Roxie Marquée.

Steps to the top of Portrero Hill.

The next batch of fresh-from-the-lab negatives are from a #Voigtländer
folding camera, which is definitely a step above my usual box cameras in quality.
These are from a day we walked from the 22nd St CalTrain station over Portrero Hill to the Roxie (I think […]

same alley in Chinatown

SF Muni PCC Streetcar

Here's a couple I took on the same outing, with my #Voigtländer bellows camera. (The light leak it had earlier seems to be fixed now; thanks to all my fedis who gave helpful advice on that).

a cute bus

a foggy morning on my street

Devil's Slide trail

classic brick 2-story commercial building, which now contains the Coffee Bar

same building, more of an angle, so you can see the Coffee Bar sign sticking out

building next door, which has a crest giving its date of construction as 1910 A.D., topped by an eagle

A few pictures from the #Voigtländer. #BellowsCamera, This is in downtown #redwoodcity.
I've been thinking a bit about what the quality difference between box cameras and a "real" camera like this is. I think overall I get more *consistently* better results […]
