Edinburgh alleys

Posted on September 30, 2010 by Marco

The Nikkor 20/3.5 UD works very well in conjunction with the Delta 3200 and Edinburgh. Old, grainy, grainy and old. Yes, that stuff. And graphical elements too. Dedicated to my officemate Paddy, who this weekend is cycling from Durham to … Continue reading →

Cosy and Italian in Amsterdam

Posted on September 19, 2010 by Marco

A cosy and Italian eatery (calling it restaurant would be too much) welcomed us in Amsterdam. They also let us eat a little outside of their working hours (perhaps our face was screaming “hungry”). View Uliveto in a larger map … Continue reading →

Back from Amsterdam…

Posted on September 14, 2010 by Marco

…it is time to enjoy some Coolscanning. I was happy with the Delta 3200 in the Contax just as much as with the Ektar 100 in the Nikon. Two humble examples. Of course, my Amsterdam pictures will begin to pop … Continue reading →

Some cameras, many cameras

Posted on July 8, 2010 by Marco

Having just received my second Contax 139 (to replace my beloved original one that I got when I was 16), I reckon this is the right time to summarise my photographic equipment. I am not a collector. I own cameras … Continue reading →

Watching Durham

Posted on July 3, 2010 by Marco

There aren’t many things to see in Durham, but those few things are keen on being watched and watched again. I updated some of my photo galleries (People in the picture and Graham Sports Centre). The picture above was shot … Continue reading →

TLR perspective

Posted on June 19, 2010 by Marco

One of the easiest things to do with a Twin Lens Reflex (“biottica”) is looking down (in the viewfinder) and high (with the lens). I did the same, a few years ago, in Canary Wharf.
