I was huddling on the shore of Lago Pehoe, trying to photograph clouds of water droplets whipped by gusts of wind off the surface of this cold, glacial lake , when these two Danish backpackers suddenly appeared and took a dip in the lake. I had just enough time to squeeze a few shots, before they froze...
I used my 1966 Carl Zeiss WERRAMATIC camera made in GDR for this photo -- I missed the deadline for 'Commie Camera Week' with this. I was out in Brentwood High Street and saw these three 'Characters' and had a laugh with them -- they said they were going to audition for 'Last of the Summer Wine' ( a famous British TV comedy programe where most of the characters have died) I used outdated Ilford FP4+ and processed in home-made ID11 formula 1+1.
More tests with my 'gift' CONTAX RTS II Quartz and the Planar lens -- here is a Window Cleaner in action -- I had to focus quickly before he saw me ! I used outdated Fuji Super G 100 film rated at 64 ASA and home-processed in C41. I think there may be a LIGHT LEAK now in the film plane-- see the red area below -- I had to change the mirror bumper foam as on use it all crumbled after so many years of non-use.
I was GIVEN a 1982 CONTAX RTS II Quartz with the 50mm f1.4 Planar lens so I tested it in Brentwood High Street at full aperture. Camera had been banged so frame counter does not work, but lens seems OK.
My Old Friend Bart who gave me this Rolleiflex 3.5E Planar, with one of his famous funny 'self-portraits' I used full aperture with no flash by window-light.
