Weihnachtsmarkt bei Regen - Christmas market in the rain

So etwas kommt gelegentlich vor. In solche Situationen ist eine robuste Kamera sehr nützlich, die auch bei misslichen Umständen (Regen, Wind) ihren Dienst tut. Bei der Kamera handelt es sich um eine Nikon EL2 (Produktionszeitraum, 1977 - 1978) mit einem 50mm Objektiv (genauer Nikkor 50mm f/2 Ai). Als Film habe ich einen Fuji Provia 100F verwendet. Bei einscannen (Nikon Coolscan IV 4 ED) war ich erstaunt wie genau die Dias belichtet wurden. Einzig beim Weissabgleich musste eine Korrektur vornehmen. Aber das war es dann auch.

That kind of situation happens occasionally. In such situations a robust camera is very useful, even in bad conditions (rain, wind). The camera is a Nikon EL2 (production period, 1977 - 1978) with a 50mm lens (more exactly Nikkor 50mm f/2 Ai). As film I used a Fuji Provia 100F. During scanning (Nikon Coolscan IV 4 ED) I was amazed how exactly the slides were exposed. Only the white balance had to be corrected. And that was it all..

Stairs...

Stairs get a different status after a knee surgery. They become obstacles! On the other hand, stairs have also certain aesthetic aspects. Such as these stairs within a building of the University of Bern.

I took this picture during the lunch break after an information event in the same building. And I have exposed only one negative, with full confidence in the integrated light meter my old Nikon EL2 camera.

"Bundesplatz" / Government Plaza

The "Bundesplatz" is the Government Plaza in Bern (the capital city of Switzerland). There is also a waterspout fountain with 26 jets (they represent the 26 cantons and half-cantons of Switzerland). In summer, the fountain is turned on at certain times. For the pleasure of young and old. If you visit Bern, have a look at it. It's funny how people enjoy this fountain in front of the parliament building. Here are three images/scans I shot with a Nikon EL2 camera (I used a Kodak TRI-X B/W Film and developed it in Ilford LC-29).
