flowers in two seasons.

Last year in summer I had the idea to shoot flowers in summer and in winter on the same film.
In July I used my Nikon F-601 and the big Tamron AF 3.8-5.6/28-200mm Aspherical zoom lens in combination with the Tamron Close-Up Adaptor Lens, which is specially made for this lens, to shoot a Kodak Farbwelt 400 film.
I made some macro pictures from flourishing flowers.
Now in February I used the film to photograph flowers, plants, a statue and a person in the snow with the Hanimex Amphibian.
I created some cool double exposures, as you can see here:

Sorria, você está sendo filmado!

Last month I visited the Radical Software. The Raindance Foundation, Media Ecology and Video Art exhibition at the ZKM in Karslruhe. There are many video installations and at some of them the visitor is filmed and shown at the screens. Sorria, você está sendo filmado! is Portuguese and means Smile, you are been filmed!
I shot some self portraits with the Nikon F-601 and the big Tamron AF 3.8-5.6/28-200mm Aspherical zoom lens. The film was an expired Kodak Farbwelt 200.

The MegaZoom.

At a fleamarket in June I bought a Nikon F-601 with a Tamron AF 3.8-5.6/28-200mm Aspherical lens. I'm not a fan of those mega zoom lenses, because of the many compromises you must take in purchase. But the set was very cheap, therefore I bought it without concerns. I tried to use the whole range of the lens and at the end I was very surprised how good it performs.
I shot on an expired Kodak Gold 200 film @ ISO 100.

The 2-Cameras-Double-Exposure-Project. the outsiders. part 2+3.

The 2-Cameras-Double-Exposure-Project is like a lucky bag, often you've got the luck of creating wonderful, strange and surreal looking double exposures, but sometimes shit happens and everything goes wrong.
At the first example I used an Agfa Vista 100 film out of a Canon AF 35 M II. I shot the film with my Minolta 7000 AF and the Minolta 3.5-4.5/35-70mm lens along with part 4.
I thought that some cool double exposures will be on the film, but after the development there were just normal and very dark pictures, that I've shot. It was a litte bit like in the outsiders. part 1.

At all parts before I did not know who the photographer was and what he photographed, but at this example, which I shot after part 6, I know both. The Praktica Nova IB with the aus Jena T (Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar) 2.8/50mm belongs to my girlfriend. She shot with the Praktica some landscape pictures on a Fuji Super X-TRA 400 film.
Then we put the film into a Nikon F-401 with a Tokina AF 3.5-4.5/28-70mm SD lens. Of course, we hoped that there will be cool double exposures, but at the end we had nearly the same result like at the first example of this post. Just one picture became very cool, but we had at the left side the picture, which my girlfriend shot and at the other side the picture I shot.

But it can get even worse...
At the last example, which I shot after the second example of this post, I was especially sad, because I hoped for a lot. I bought a bulky, but cool Hanimex Amphibian underwater camera. I was very surprised when I found the Konica SR-G 400 inside the camera. 
Hanimex was a photographic brand in Australia, which sold under their name photographic equipment. Therefore I hoped that the camera was used at the Great Barrier Reef and that there are wonderful underwater pictures from this breathtaking place. Therefore I had great expectations.
I put the film into my spacy Olympus OM-101. I made wonderful pictures, but the film was empty after the development. The negatives were blank, just two negatives show something. Only a boring house in a dull area... Of course, I didn't shoot these pictures. I don't know why my photos aren't on the film...
