Don't make excuses, I told you I wanted a white one!

#Flektogon

A low-angle, high-contrast black and white photograph taken at night within a narrow, rectangular passage or alleyway. The composition is defined by strong linear perspective, with the walls and ceiling lights leading the eye toward a pitch-black vanishing point at the center. On the ground in the foreground, the word "STOP" is painted in large, white, weathered block letters on a dark, cobblestone-like pavement. A white directional arrow is visible just above the text, pointing into the darkness. The lighting is architectural and rhythmic: four bright, rectangular fluorescent fixtures are mounted along the top edges of the walls, two on each side, casting a stark white glow that emphasizes the texture of the masonry. The walls appear to be made of light-colored stone or concrete blocks. To the right, a closed door is partially visible in the shadows. Beyond the immediate corridor, the scene transitions into deep shadow, with only a few faint, distant streetlights visible in the background, creating a sense of liminal space and urban solitude. The contrast is sharp, with deep blacks and bright, blown-out highlights from the lamps, emphasizing a noir aesthetic.

I left home to take some pictures, but I had so many thoughts about myself that I couldn't focus on anything else than myself.

Fuji X-S10 + FLEKTOGON 35 2.4 with a dead aperture (stays open all the time). This lens will go in repair as soon as I have found someone to fix it.

#flektogon #jena #carlzeiss #photography #bw #blackandwhite

focusing in the middle with the misaligned rangefinder, then correcting the measure with an added reference mark on the barrel

I can compensate the error by adding a mark to set the actual metered distance.
First roll, with my usual Orwo UN54, is not so bad.
The famous 1/750s looks ok (for t>1/30s, I don't want to bother it).
Also some attempt with a polarizer.
2/2

An old 35mm camera, a Pentax Spotmatic, is shown in a leather camera case but open. The lens is not standard but a Carl Zeiss Jena lens, a 35mm focal length. The camera strap is orange yellow and burgundy patterned.

Got my latest Zeiss lens! A 35mm Flektogon, multi-coated sweetness. Finally found a converter so the Canon (EF mount) lenses can come here to the M42 screw mount and vice versa. #photography #Zeiss #lens #Pentax #Canon #Asahi #Olympus #Flektogon #Sonnar #Biotar #Planar #Tessar #Pancolar

54152_05 Preset: BW_flatty CRV Can we try to lower the contrast here? why yes we can!

54152_06 Preset: [NEW] BW_flatty CRV+Tone Ohhh, that's definitely worthy of a preset save.

Parent/Child combo.
BW'ish versions
going the opposite direction, trying to remove contrast & add tone

54152_1 Preset: Flat Crunch Moar_2150-70_XTir_Grn_v6_brht_wt_v2 I like the blue "cross process" black point, -but too yellow for this image...

54152_08 Preset: [NEW] Flat Crunch Moar_2150-70_XTir_Grn_v7_LwC

Here's a derivative, preset was "too yellow" so couple of tint adjustments later and I have a new export. [Plus a new preset]

Abby the Plott hound, sits center frame, in a wash of pink foliage behind her, as if in a alien landscape. Small yellow & pink flowers be-speckle the edges of the frame. 2025-04-29

Abby the Plott hound, Shirley* photos where I test the lens, before the walk-of-the-day. Warm tones, and short depth of field, close up of Abby with her just the tip of her nose in focus. From low angle looking upward, with white background. Abby's left ear near center frame as she looks to the right. Bright highlight along the top of her nose with plenty of shine showing lots of texture. *Shirley was the nick name of the calibration charts used to test film/scanners. 2025-04-29

ABBY!!

Abby the Plott hound, bloops the lens with tongue blep. Shirley* photo where I test the lens, before the walk-of-the-day. Warm tones and short depth of field close up of Abby as she comes in to kiss the camera. Whiskers in focus yet not much else is, as she sits in front of out chain link fence before our walk, giving added texture to the left side of the frame. *Shirley was the nick name of the calibration charts used to test film/scanners. 2025-04-29

*Boops* the lens, -with blep!

Mrazivá zimní rána bez sněhu a slunce ještě nízko nad obzorem. Pes zkoumá psí značky na hřbitovní zdi, já fotím. Zůstal mi na foťáku Flektogon, 35ka, která umí krajinu i makro a oboje opravdu moc hezky. Neděle bude fajn.
