Voigtlander Vito II Test Roll

Results from the Vito II camera, shot on Fuji Superia 200 using the Sunny/16 rule for guessing exposure. Most of these were taken at f/8, and shutter speeds ranging between 1/50 - 1/100 sec. I was expecting a roll of just craptastic photos, but I actually quite liked what I ended up with - some are actually fairly interesting shots. Although the results are really grainy for a 200 speed film... I think part of that is my lack of film scanning know how though.



A peony dying out in front our house.


Freshly mowed (mown?) lawn at a school yard. I liked the way the lines from the lawn mower tires contrasted against the grass itself.


Apparently, the Vito II isn't as double exposure proof as I was lead to believe. I like it.


Messing with a preset in Lightroom on the double from above.












Not Photoshopped - these colours are straight out of the scanner.


Same here.


End of the roll - double exposed.

Photowalk

A few weeks back, I went on a photowalk with a fellow flickrite, Cody, through the streets of downtown Calgary after work, each of us armed with a TLR and a 35mm Rangefinder. I only shot one roll through each camera, and here are the first scans and edits of those from my Ricohflex. The processing is a bit over the top, but I wanted to emphasize what I saw as a common thread on this roll - isolation and alienation despite being in a normally crowded urban setting.























Alright, I'm hacking up a lung from this swine-flu or whatever virus has befallen me. For the 3rd night in a row, I'm going to bed before 11. CRAZY!
