It’s been more than a year since I last visited Hasselt, and over three years since I last used this black and white film simulation recipe – so let’s go!

Koningsdag 👑, Breda 🇳🇱

Koningsdag or King's Day is a national holiday in the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Celebrated on 27 April (26 April if the 27th is a Sunday), the date marks the birth of King Willem-Alexander. When the Dutch monarch is female, the holiday is known as Koninginnedag or Queen's Day and, under Queen Beatrix until 2013, was celebrated on 30 April.

Breda is a city and municipality in the southern part of the Netherlands, located in the province of North Brabant. The name derived from brede Aa and refers to the confluence of the rivers Mark and Aa.

The story

For this year’s edition of King’s Day, I visited Breda: a sun-filled day with nice people and way-too-expensive drinks! Unfortunately, I used the silent electronic shutter instead of the mechanical one, which caused banding in many of the pictures of the band under the spotlights – so a lot of photos didn’t pass quality control. Better luck next time!

Köln (Cologne) 🇩🇪

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

I was in the mood to take my good old Fujifilm X-E2 out on a date today, so I did! Unfortunately, my 23mm lens had some issues, so I paired it with the 50mm instead. That combo requires a city with enough ‘room’ for a full-frame equivalent 77mm field of view – so Cologne it was!

Camera:
Fujifilm X-E2

Camera lens:
Fujinon XF 50mm f/2 R WR

Camera lens filter:
