TRAVEL PHOTOGRAPHY

The series Travel Photography was shot with Ihagee 6x9cm camera from 1920s. The camera has a simple frame viewfinder (broken and useless), focusing by distance meter, shutter speeds of 1/25, 1/50 and 1/100 only. All photos were taken without a tripod (mostly handheld, but sometimes I used garbage bins or whatever I could find for the support). Most pictures were taken on Scala film before it was discontinued, other - on TMax 400.

I am surprised this is the one that hasn't got a comment. Given it's a night shot, it is by far the best in my opinion. Of course it is a magnificent square and very special at night. The ghost like figures on the left suggest that this was slower than 1/25th and yet a B setting and handholding doesn't seem to be compatible.

What was the speed? Thanks

Thank you for the comment.
The camera has B setting in fact - sorry not mentioning it in my description - and I use it when can find some support. In this case it was a low fence of a restaurant on the square. I cannot tell what was the timing - never count it, just wait untill it's "enough". The film was TMax 400 pushed to 800 - hence grain, but somewhat pleasant grain in combination with not so sharp background.

You really have a knack for these. Your treatment of the subject matter is original I think, and I really enjoy the print tones you achieve. Nice work!
