Bonn 🇩🇪

The federal city of Bonn is a city on the banks of the Rhine in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. About 24 km south-southeast of Cologne, Bonn is in the southernmost part of the Rhine-Ruhr region, Germany's largest metropolitan area.

The story

Testing a new film simulation recipe, a relatively normal one, that seems to excel in capturing the fall colors in Bonn.

Wuppertal 🇩🇪

Wuppertal is a city in western Germany. It's known for its Schwebebahn, a suspension monorail dating from 1901.

The story

Some experimental night-time photography in Wuppertal: I aimed for a cinematic look, using the Cinestill 800T film simulation recipe, a 23mm focal length lens, and a gold streak filter to create an anamorphic effect with horizontal light streaks. I’m not completely satisfied with the results, so I might try some black-and-white shots next time!

Köln 🇩🇪

Cologne is the largest city of Germany's most populous state of North Rhine-Westphalia and it is the most populous city of both the Rhine-Ruhr Metropolitan Region and the Rhineland.

The story

It’s been some time since my last visit to Cologne or the use of the AgfaChrome RS 100 recipe, but today, with the sun shining on this hot late-summer day, I’m diving back in!

Nürnberg 🇩🇪

Nuremberg is the largest city in Franconia, the second-largest city in the German state of Bavaria, and the 14th-largest city in Germany. The city is surrounded on three sides by the Reichswald, a large forest, and in the north lies Knoblauchsland, an extensive vegetable growing area and cultural landscape.

The story

First day of my holiday… but the destination is a surprise! My first stop is Nürnberg. It’s a hot day in this beautiful city, full of history. Of course, I had to visit Zeppelinfield, where Uncle A. gave his speeches. To make it look authentic, I used the Kodak Tri-X 400 film simulation recipe along with the Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 35mm f/2.8, shot wide open.
