More photos HERE!

BTW: A proof, that one shall sleep more is: I put a roll of HP5+ into a freshly made microphen solution without even checking its temperature. It was 28 deg. Celsius!!! Aaaargh, after 5 minute development the negative is… funny. Well, the picture is there, but shall it really have this greenish cast? Well whatever ๐Ÿ™‚
It’s just party photos anyway.
Ah, well: I really like the fine grain of microphen+TMZ @ 1600…

Snow, snow, snow…

Hey, it’s March! M-A-R-C-H! I know it’s not yet official time for spring to come, but this time last year there were flowers in the park already in full blossom!!! And now?

On Friday I arrive in Reutlingen, it rains. So far so good, rain is ok in spring, but seeing 25cm of snow the very next morning the hell isn’t!

Friday – bowling…

They say, bowling is a sport immitation for beer drinkers, chatters and mums with kids ๐Ÿ™‚ Well, I won’t risk saying things like that, but in case of a casual freindly meeting the sport part is definitely not the most important thing ๐Ÿ˜›

On Friday Xinyi and her colleagues went bowling — taking me along. As I have injured my right hand that day, I played the deadweight and enjoyed shooting photos only. I took my new toy — the 20mm Flektogon on a Praktica and two rolls of Tmax 3200 film. I exposed it at ISO800 and 1600 resp. then flash-scanned it using my 300D. I screwed the flash backlight and didn’t notice it till I had the scans loaded in my PC, so the quality stinks a good bit, I’ll redo it if I find some free time.

So, this is the bunch `playing’ (notice the importance of social relations in sport):

Some actual bowling shots:

one can’t be always perfect:
bowling #2 - not always succesful

Let it roll!
bowling #3

and a well deserved cocktail-bar evening afterwards ๐Ÿ™‚
