The image captures a couple, a man in his sixties and a woman in her thirties, descending a long stone staircase. They are walking away from the camera. Lush trees line the sides of the stairway and are visible at the top, creating a natural tunnel. The location seems to be somewhere in Split, Croatia.

The Wolfen Cine UN54, originating from the iconic Wolfen site since 1910, captures stunning black-and-white scenes. I used it for the first time in Croatia last month during a hike up Marjan Hill in Split.

Here are some of the photos from that afternoon […]

Two individuals are lying on a sidewalk. The backdrop is blurred, with some greenery visible. The location seems like a generic outdoor space.

Sometimes, the expired film I get on eBay doesn't work as I expected it to. And this Fujicolor NPH400 roll is a good example of a colorful failure.

I used this film roll while I was in Supetar, and I had some kind of good expectations for this film, but… As […]

The image captures a lone young adult descending a set of stone stairs overlooking a scenic vista in Split, Croatia. The foreground is dominated by the aged stairs and a weathered stone railing. Beyond, lush greenery gives way to the Adriatic Sea, with the city of Split nestled along the coastline. The individual appears engrossed in a document or map, seemingly navigating the historical locale.

Lomochrome Color '92 mimics the look of poorly stored color negative film from the early '90s, and my experience supports that comparison.

If you want a film stock that accurately reproduces real-life colors, this isn’t it. Embrace the unexpected with […]

View from inside a circular stone ruin, looking up through an oculus at blue sky with a church cross visible above the wall.

You may recognize this view from a previous photo I shared. It's the inside of the Vestibule in Diocletian's Palace, looking up at the Cathedral of Saint Domnius in Split, captured in pure photography film magic.

The Vestibule, or Rotunda, is the first part […]

The image captures a scene at what appears to be the Church of Our Lady of Health in Supetar, Croatia. The edifice dominates the background, its weathered facade rising majestically against the sky. In the foreground, two figures are present: one on the left, gazing towards the church and another one on the right, descending the steps in front of the church.

One of the films I wanted to use in Split was a Lomochrome Turquoise, which I received from the team at #Lomography to test and write an article about. I have used this film before and loved its weird colors and tones, but I have never used it in a travel […]

The image captures a vibrant beach scene. Several people are enjoying the cool water on a bright sunny day. In the background, beach umbrellas and sunbeds line the sandy shore of Split, creating a relaxing vacation atmosphere. Further out, a sailboat glides along the tranquil waters, enhancing the picturesque view.

As I said in a previous post, the color of the water at the first beach I visited in Split was so stunning that I still can't believe it's real. And it looks even better in this Kodak Pro Image 100 I used for the first time in Croatia […]

In this serene outdoor scene, an individual is seated on a bench within a park setting. Tall buildings loom in the background, contrasting with the lush greenery of the trees in the foreground. The person appears to be enjoying a moment of solitude in Split, Croatia.

While visiting Split, I explored the neighborhood of Split 3, known for its striking brutalist architecture from the 1970s and 1980s, reflecting the city's communist past.

I used Cinestill 50D film for the first time while walking around, and despite my […]

The scene unfolds at a beach in Croatia, where sunlight bathes the shore. In the background, adults and children relax by the water. Closer to the viewer, a metal ladder leads into the sea.

One of the highlights of my time in Croatia was taking a ferry from Split to Supetar, where I visited a vibrant beach. Unfortunately, my pictures don’t reflect it because I used heavily expired film.

I brought two film cameras on the trip and was curious […]

The image captures a couple standing in front of the historic Clock Tower in Split, Croatia. In the foreground, an archway and a column add depth to the composition. The grand stone buildings serve as a backdrop, emphasizing the location's historical significance.

Standing tall in Nardoni Trg, this clock tower boasts an impressive 1,700 years of history. Visitors can climb a steep stairway for stunning views of the Old Town and its vibrant crowds.

I shot these photos using the Wolfen Cine UN54 film for the first time […]

White laundry hangs on clotheslines stretched above a stone building against a blue sky.

Over the centuries, while reviewing my pictures from Split, I noticed many images of clothing hanging out to dry. The ancient Diocletian Palace has transformed into a living monument. As you wander through the old city center, you can see how people live […]

A building with a slanted roof covered in graffiti, some overgrown plants, and large, damaged letters on top against a clear blue sky.

On our walk back from Split 3, we passed the Športski Centar Gripe, an intriguing place that felt abandoned yet still in use, reminiscent of a setting from Cyberpunk 2077.

One unique place I wanted to visit in Split is the neighborhood known as Split 3. This large concrete complex, built in the 1970s and 1980s during Yugoslavia's communist era, symbolizes the city's history.

Located on the southeastern coast of Split, it […]

A lifelike statue of a man, capturing his stance and features with remarkable craftsmanship and attention to detail.

On my last day in Split, I walked to one of the Roman gates and photographed the Gregory of Nin Statue.

Gregory of Nin was a Croatian bishop who opposed the pope and advocated for using the Croatian language in religious services after the Great Assembly in […]

A stone pier with a metal ladder extends over clear turquoise water, with deep blue sea and distant mountains visible under a partly cloudy sky.

On my third day in Split, I took a ferry to Supetar and loved the water color there.

I hope the films I took can capture this.

A view of a church bell tower featuring a cross is framed by a circular opening in a stone dome against a blue sky in Split, Croatia.

On my second day in Split, I took a fantastic tour of the old city within Diocletian's Palace. I enjoyed exploring the Roman and medieval buildings, especially capturing Split’s Cathedral from the Vestibule.

The Vestibule, part of Diocletian's Palace […]

The image captures a solitary adult figure on a rocky beach. The foreground features lush greenery and a clear expanse of water. In the background, there's a cruise ship docked in a harbor in Split, Croatia, with a tall Second World War memorial rising above the skyline.

On my first day in Split, while looking around the Sailor Lighthouse and Monument to Fallen Sailors, I saw some stairs and decided to go up them.

This is how I discovered this gorgeous beach in Split!
