2 weeks Paris vacation, Leica SLR and b&w film

Postby androgynousectomorph » Fri Aug 22, 2008 7:21 am

Been using 35mm film lately much, still have my wonderful medium format cams though (690 rangefinder, 680 SLR, 6x7 SLR, 6x6 TLR). Just got back from 2 weeks vacation in Paris doing b&w film with my Leica and 3 lenses

28mm/2.8 Elmarit
50mm/2 Summicron
180mm/2.8 Elmarit

Great B&W pictures, thanks for sharing.

What a relief, no Louvre and Eiffel Tower pictures! I love to see Paris from an unusual angle.

BTW, did you really scan all these?

Cheers!

No, I left the film to Picto pro photo lab, they have three labs in Paris.

My pretentious visions about Paris and photography was to do b&w and not do "touristy shots" (might sound derogative uppity, but you know, "this is me in front of the Louvre, this is the Bastille"). Felt very inspired in Paris, but coming back to boring dreary Stockholm, I feel this lack of inspiration.

Wow, Picto, no less! The scans can be good ;-) Just kidding, your pictures are great and that has nothing to do with the lab.

Cheers!
