I took the Rolleiflex out and tried to make a few images in Chain O'Lakes, here in Indiana. I talk a little bit about the main features, what I like, and what I don't.

Camera and Lens: Rolleiflex, 75mm f/3.5
Film stock: Ilford HP5+
Exposure: 800
Developer: Ilfotec HC
This is an almost cliche image, but I couldn't resist during my morning walk with the dog after a snowstorm here in Northern Indiana.
It's also a good excuse to share an image not made with the Bronica. I always have a camera with me, if it's not the big Zenza then it will be either the Rolleiflex or the Holga.

Exposure: 1600

During our stay in Palm Springs, California, I took a few walks around the town carrying only my Rolleiflex (you should always carry a camera with you!) and of course, I tried to make some images during such walks.
This is one of my favorites from those rolls, featuring two of the many palm trees you can find in the area, taken near or during sunset.

The Holga wasn't for me, or I wasn't for the Holga.
