Well, it seems nobody is starting the weekend thread… : )
I went to Ethiopia for a long weekend
; I stayed three days in Lalibela, that incredible place in the mountains with the stone-carved churches. Before leaving the usual hesitation about which equipment to carry with me. I really wanted to bring the Pentax 67 because it´s a lovely camera and I have a wide lens perfect for the narrow spaces inside the churches; finally I decided to bring with me the Rolleiflex, to be honest my shooting style is Portraits so at the end it makes no sense to me to bring a wide lens, and the Pentax weights more than twice the Rollei. So finally the Rollei and the Polaroid 195, of course!
I arrived to the place and as expected my first shots are shitty, my hands tremble and I shoot to anything that moves, after my first roll and a few wasted polaroid I go back to my usual shooting rhythm, which is around 1 roll of medium format and 1 polaroid pack per day. But then my Rollei its not working as expected, the winding mechanism feels stiff and the shutter makes a pffff sound instead of the usual click
, luckily after few shots it goes back to normality (it seems I have to have the camera serviced..)
So here are the B&W Polaroids which I like the best
