My trip to Cuba 2018

I haven’t uploaded these pictures anywhere, I wanted to share the pictures from my 4-week solo trip to Cuba! I didn’t know a lot about photography back then. I only brought my Canon 450D with the 50mm F1.4 lens on it., little did I know that a 50mm lens might not be the best for travel. But I think I got some good shots anyway.

Here you go!

From Amsterdam with love

In the month of September, my girlfriend and I decided to travel to Amsterdam. This was our first trip with the Olympus Mju 1 and testing the Kodak Portra 400 that everyone is talking about. It delivered for sure, might be some of my favorite photos ever, but it might be from my strong feeling from this amazing city. I really love it here. I also got the chance to play with a bit of street style photography, which was definitely way out of my comfort zone.

We also brought our trusting fuji cameras as well as the film camera. I am still experimenting with film and don’t 100% trust that the photos will come out as I want them. Also if I want to print something, it’s just easier with my fuji right now, maybe in the future, when I know more about darkroom, ill be able to make awesome prints. I’ll post the digital photos we took underneath the analog photos.

Photos below are taken with the point and shoot camera Olympus Mju 1 and two rolls of Kodak Portra 400 speed analog film.

And now comes the digital photos. The camera we used was the Fujifilm X-Pro 3 and the X-E1. My girlfriend used the 18mm F2 (some of the photos are her’s) and i used the 18-55mm Zoom lens as i wanted to shoot in tele for the architecture.
