The story behind the image
Last winter I purchased a used Kodak Retinette 1B (Typ 045) – the camera I grew up with when I was a teenager (long, long time ago.) This camera was in very good condition – looking, feeling, and sounding good – but I did not know whether it actually worked. (You can read more about my journey with that camera in Gear Talk #8.)
I promised to post the results of the first roll of film, and here is one of the images. Apparently, the camera still works like a charm and as advertised. All 38 pictures of my film were well exposed and sharp. All-in-all very nice.
This is a photo taken at Gut Aiderbichl in Iffeldorf, Germany. It’s a non-profit rescue farm that gives shelter to animals that would otherwise not have survived (for various reasons.) The farm is well worth a visit and a generous donation! In one of their well-kept stables, these two pigs enjoyed the afternoon sun just lying around. As this was a cold day in spring, the comforting temperatures must have been great for them.
While I originally planned to take many more pictures with the camera over the summer, I did not find the time (and mood) to execute on this plan.
Maybe this autumn. 🙂
