Windowless Homes is the working title of a project I've been working on about the architecture in my hometown. This project had been mostly digital, I wanted to add some film images so I took my Bronica, loaded some Rollei Retro 400s and hit the streets.

Messing up (kind of) my first roll of Rollei Retro 400S
A few days ago, I went out to shoot my first roll of Rollei Retro 400S. I made long exposure images and tested the dynamic range of the film.
And then, I broke the thermometer while I was developing it. I had to guess all the temperatures and some might have been off.
The images turned out just fine, though. I will have to give it another try, this time using a proper thermometer and not my finger.
The River, Ribeira Sacra, September 2018
Camera and Lens: Bronica SQ-Ai, Zenzanon PS 150mm f/4
Film stock: Rollei Retro 400S
Exposure: 400
Developer: Ilfotec HC
Notes: my thermometer broke so I had to guess the temperature of the chemicals.
This was my second trip with the new car, and what a beautiful and lovely morning it was!
I shot an entire roll of Rollei Retro 400S, and got some good images.
I wasn't expecting this one to come out as well as it did, because of the huge dynamic range of the scene.
There's a bit of pure white, but that's the Sun rising behind that fog. I was sure much more of the highlights was going to be blown out.
