Pretty abstract. What am I looking at?

Looking at me, working on the part. 2 of a work I started at the beginning of the lockdown in Belgium..
But here, more specifically, just me, capturing those giant leaves through the window, creating a shadow of myself, wearing my favourite hat.
Here's the part.1 LOCKDOWN

I see. Not to be confused with a photograph, eh?

I was recently given a Rolleicord III that was my wife's grandfathers. Manufactured in the early 50s apparently. Speeds slower than 1/50 are rather sticky however other than that it's fine to use.
I've been quite pleasantly surprised by the detail resolved by the lens and also quite like the look in general. Noticeably less contrast than a modern lens and a lot more flare.

Photography with delusions of grandeur. Leave it at that.

That's a whole different discussion... with just as little likelihood of settling it...

Settle what? Just because it's 'art' doesn't mean a person doesn't want to know what they are looking at because I wasn't getting any vibe from the abstractness. I assume you did.

Here's a few recently developed Arista-Edu Ultra 200 ISO - shot with the Pentax-ME and multiple prime Pentax lenses (I did not keep a dairy).

The tonality in what looks like a courtroom is really nice.

Thanks - it is a Court Room... Also, this film does not like indoors too much, but somehow this was one of the better results. I had it held in a bech so maybe the stability provided.

The film overall has too much contrast. If I ever shoot it again I would probably overexpose all shots.

Unless they've changed it, EDU Ultra 200 is likely still Fomapan 200. I like the stuff, but yeah: definitely benefits from a bit extra light.
