Testing a new film simulation recipe, a relatively normal one, that seems to excel in capturing the fall colors in Bonn.

Leuven 🇧🇪

Leuven is the capital and largest city of the province of Flemish Brabant in the Flemish Region of Belgium. It is located about 25 kilometers (16 miles) east of Brussels. The municipality itself comprises the historic city and the former neighbouring municipalities of Heverlee, Kessel-Lo, a part of Korbeek-Lo, Wilsele and Wijgmaal. It is the eighth largest city in Belgium.

The story

Following Wuppertal’s first attempt, this is the second one in Leuven using the Gold Streak filter. This time, I aimed for a vintage, grainy look with the good ol’ Flek and a black-and-white film simulation recipe. Conclusion: this filter is not for me…

Wuppertal 🇩🇪

Wuppertal is a city in western Germany. It's known for its Schwebebahn, a suspension monorail dating from 1901.

The story

Some experimental night-time photography in Wuppertal: I aimed for a cinematic look, using the Cinestill 800T film simulation recipe, a 23mm focal length lens, and a gold streak filter to create an anamorphic effect with horizontal light streaks. I’m not completely satisfied with the results, so I might try some black-and-white shots next time!

Köln 🇩🇪

Cologne is the largest city of Germany's most populous state of North Rhine-Westphalia and it is the most populous city of both the Rhine-Ruhr Metropolitan Region and the Rhineland.

The story

It’s been some time since my last visit to Cologne or the use of the AgfaChrome RS 100 recipe, but today, with the sun shining on this hot late-summer day, I’m diving back in!
