Rom | Tapas in the sun

I'm a keen photographer shooting digital and film (mostly film) of places in Spain in colour and B&W (mostly B&W). Let's go and explore...

nostr:npub1d7hszp8nut88f48fwawh95m90v85m2wppwekvc6xhp4rwjwd05yqyvk463 I am not an expert, but it probably is. I have seen rivers with red water due to the iron in the ground. That was natural and not polluted. I’m not sure if the same applies at this location.


I have been quiet here lately because I have been out scouting new photo locations. Today I was at the abandoned mines of Mazarrón. What an amazing place. I ran out of film! It will take a while before I post the photos ; I have so many in the pipeline. Here is a little taster of what's to come.

nostr:npub1hzyfakmzxjhwvgluzhy3mxtd4xle5cwnatzl8mjvpddrxjspat8sl6mrau I might go back and check. It could be the lens, or maybe the film, ISO rating and developer.  With film photography there are so many variables!


nostr:npub1zeu5mr2vp7yxlwgjfjazd8wh5julhuqp7yc9mq7v542xzr0txpmqq67hgm The dirty lens worked well. Maybe there is a dirty lens filter I can buy?

nostr:npub1h0dz2rnlj2v50qrgzdp0crrg5j9dxsmnv524pvn8qejw29qkel6sj0h547 Great news that the Rolleiflex works fine! Shame about the insufficient chemicals, otherwise the negs look decent.


nostr:npub1ju5kkhzekw2pxggprt7wgvll3e5y0emrxdqm0du0l3dcc97st69syqtypd Wonderful! So delicate.


nostr:npub1hzyfakmzxjhwvgluzhy3mxtd4xle5cwnatzl8mjvpddrxjspat8sl6mrau Zeiss lenses are phenomenal. I've only dabbled with a few Zeiss Ikon cameras.


nostr:npub1ju5kkhzekw2pxggprt7wgvll3e5y0emrxdqm0du0l3dcc97st69syqtypd Thank you for your kind comments. Antiquera is definitely worth a visit, but I would put Sevilla or Cordoba higher up the list.


nostr:npub1hzyfakmzxjhwvgluzhy3mxtd4xle5cwnatzl8mjvpddrxjspat8sl6mrau I haven't really noticed a difference in contrast between Takumar and Nikon lenses, but I have taken a shine to the Spotmatic with Takumar lenses. Maybe it is a contrast thing.  I have only been using Takumar for a few months.


From my website, a photo article about Antequera https://www.tapasinthesun.com/spain-places/antequera/

I took the photos earlier this year but have only got around to writing the post. And yes, I know, the photos are digital and in colour 😳😱

nostr:npub13vuzswqxtarugf6zfg9v2vakrsche2rrdw5ur4rlyu2mpshjnd5qxuwlpc The humidity makes a huge difference to how the temperature feels.


nostr:npub1d3q4kfsl96ay8d8kyr2eveewlnyyrah99jv35nh7m3x0syn974uq8g8gtd I like the first one in particular. Wonderful tonal range. I often pull FP4 and Delta 100 because of the bright sun here in Spain. It works well for me.


nostr:npub13vuzswqxtarugf6zfg9v2vakrsche2rrdw5ur4rlyu2mpshjnd5qxuwlpc The fact that Nick Carver was involved and endorses it is reassuring. I believe it supports his ‘precision metering’ method.

nostr:npub1f6kuh66mqler9k82f56e4hy7aq28cfwxahjmujwsqp0a5zn4fy2qjgs7vt I live in Spain where it's not uncommon for daily temperatures to be in excess of 40C and nighttime minimums in excess of 20C in the summer. I buy my film mail order. There is no local store selling film. To avoid my film being exposed to excessive temperatures during delivery, I only buy film in winter or spring. I also buy from reputable photo suppliers. I store all my film (and chemicals) in a dedicated photo fridge. I often wondered if I was over-cautious. It would seem not…
