It seems to be from a time when they really did their best for me at the photo lab. (It all depends on the person doing the job, and that wasn’t always the case at this particular lab in Ghent. )

Years ago, I bought a Hi-Matic 7s.
Luckily for me, I was able to buy my collection of cameras before the analogue revival happened.
So I was able to buy loads of cameras for around 20 euros each .
It’s always nice to test something out with film ! I always had something to test with in my bag.
You don’t actually need much to use a camera.
You’ve got your film, your subject, the aperture and your shutter speed.

I had to look it up... (I’m terrible at remembering names)
So this fountain in Brussels is a work of art by Pol Bury

Good for a test of my Minolta Hi-Matic 7s

Photography is always a record of history, and sometimes a nice way to remember something.
( If, like me, you tend to think and remember in images.)

I remember zipping around #Ghent on my Yamaha SR 500, and at the time this Cabane hadn’t been open for long. A lovely initiative, and a beautiful location and little building. The #bar was closed, but it was still nice to stop by and take a few photos with my Minolta Hi-Matic 7s, which I was testing out.

The subject : the Olympus Trip 35 !
and the collection :
https://pixelfed.social/c/923923119557480358
Today, the last photos with the Olympus Trip 35... I'm finishing with three photos in one day. Two recent "test" photos taken during theatre performances and one photo from the archive. I recently had this one printed in A2 format and I'm looking forward to an exhibition in our village. The on-stage photos were taken with the aperture set to 5.6 and the distance estimated, of course.


I’m not someone who just shoots away indiscriminately,
film is precisely there to make you think about an image, not to burn through rolls of emulsion.

For those who are actually reading this, I mentioned earlier that I work as a stage manager and therefore occasionally take photographs on stage. Last week I took another photograph on stage with this little camera... Of course, it's not this photo, this one is from several years ago. But it does show that it is sometimes possible to take a good picture with it, even in very difficult conditions... (very little light)

Recently, we were walking in a place where I used to pass by a lot on my motorbike. And although I am someone who is very observant, I had never noticed this castle and farm with a tower before. Otherwise, I would certainly have stopped there in the past. But the lane is somewhat hidden among the trees, and I suspect that in summer you would quickly drive past it. Nevertheless, it is a beautiful little tower with a fascinating history, situated on top of a hill in the Flemish Ardennes.


it's called kasteel Den Ast #caslte
