Hello everybody.I guess that I have been a little lazy with my postings lately, but I find it a little boring to have to scan all these negatives!
It all takes so long...
But now here I am again to share some more images.
I drink a wonderful eierlikör made by my girlfriend, and I assure you that it tastes good. I can heartily recommend it...
I keep going on with the Rolleiflex T saga, although I mix it up with a little bit of Hasselblad too...
Plasencia, 12th of August 1986
All these images were shot at a short pause we made in the spanish town of Plasencia.
We were driving with our good friends Fred and Ana and just stopped by the river.
Under the shadow of a tree we wanted to take a little rest.
I started watching the gipsy kids playing around with their horses and dogs, so I couldn't resist and took my cameras and started mixing up with them.
It didn't take long until they all wanted to pose for me...
A hot summerday in the middle of Spain.
Besides my Rolleiflex T, I also had brought along my Hasselblad 500 EL/M and the Sonnar 150mm.
I just kept changing from one to the other while the friendly talking was going on.
All the situation was funny and relaxing.
I suppose that these young people found that they could trust me. For a little fraction of time I was part of the group.
Then we parted, never to see each other again...

Dear Rui, these are beautiful portraits. May I ak what film you use? May I ask what developer you use? Your photos are so rich. The skin tones are magic !!
ReplyDeleteHi Matthew,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words.
I don't have the negatives here with me, I have them in the studio, but I am almost sure that the film was Kodak Tri-X, and the developer was Kodak D-76, diluted 1+1. It is one of my prefered film/developer combinations. Nothing too fancy, but very effective. I just like it. I will check by opportunity, and if I see that I am wrong, I will correct.
Cheers, Rui
