Good morning.
Good evening.
There wasn’t enough light for #filmphotography to my regret.

The Ilford Delta 3200 in my Mamiya would not have done it justice.
A misty landscape at sunrise features a horizon with a soft orange glow. In the foreground, bare tree branches are silhouetted against a fog-covered field. Power lines are visible extending into the distance. A serene landscape featuring a winding road leading into a foggy field at sunset. The sky is painted in soft hues of pink and orange, with a few trees silhouetted in the mist. Power lines stretch across the scene.

At the moment, I'm not very productive when it comes to #filmphotography. But I can confirm that I have loaded an Ilford Delta 3200 into my Mamiya 645, so I'm prepared for the coming season.
Btw, it was way too cold to capture the dome on film.
A hand is holding a film roll, positioned near the opening of a vintage camera. The camera is open, revealing its interior mechanism, with the seat for the film visible. The background features part of a car seat. A large, dome-shaped structure sits amidst a snowy landscape, with frosted trees surrounding it. The atmosphere is overcast, creating a wintry scene.

Out and about with the recumbent bike. Man, I've missed that.
A rural road stretches into the distance, bordered by green grass and bushes. The sun is shining brightly in a clear blue sky, and there are small objects scattered across the road. A bicycle is partially visible in the foreground.

Miss my old #darkroom in our new apartment. Searching for an appropriate substitute is proving difficult. #filmphotography #printyourstuff

I went for another evening ride on my motorbike. Today I found a very beautiful route that winds through a forest. I was accompanied by a few car drivers who were tailgating me in some places. On roads with poor visibility, I only drive as fast as I can see. #motorcycle #enduro
A narrow road winds through a lush green area, bordered by trees on one side and grass on the other, with gentle sunlight illuminating the scene. blue motorcycle is parked on the side of a winding road, surrounded by lush green trees and foliage. The scene captures a sunny day with clear skies.

There are parallels. This is mine, it was once an attic found. My ribbon dealer is in London btw.

I can confirm that going for a ride on a motorcycle can be good for your mental health. Riding through twisty mountain roads, small villages and forests works best, at least for me.
A winding road lined with greenery next to a grassy field and a single tree under a clear blue sky. The landscape features rolling hills in the background. A quiet country road stretches into the distance, flanked by lush greenery and trees on both sides. The sky is clear and blue, with fields visible in the background.

Met with a friend at Leica Headquarters and Museum again. We visited an exhibition on renowned photographers of the 20th century. Fun was definitely had this afternoon. Just a 30 mins ride from my home 🤙🏻
A black welcome sign displaying greetings in multiple languages, including Finnish, Greek, Italian, German, Korean, and Romanian, is positioned in front of a modern hotel building. The hotel features a concrete facade and large windows, with several parked cars visible. Image of a modern urban street with a wet pavement, featuring a round building and several trees. There are a few parked cars and people near a signboard, under a cloudy sky.

Another afternoon ride through the hills in my vicinity.
Get your feet on those pegs, get your hands on those handlebars and ride! 🤟🏻 #enduro #tenere700

I had so much fun discovering Crete on a 660 Z, a few years in a row. Had always a towel with me, just in case.

An old shed that I'm going to take a look at with my camera in the near future. It would be helpful if the meadow wasn't soaking wet when I get back then.
A tilted wooden shed is situated in a grassy field, surrounded by bare trees. The background features a clear blue sky and distant fields.
