Positano in October

A scenic view of Positano from a hillside road, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea with boats scattered across the water. White buildings cling to the steep cliffs, framed by greenery and a tree in the foreground, with a motorbike parked near a rustic yellow building on the right. Shot on Fujifilm X-E4 | XF23mmF2 R WR

We just got back from our vacation on the Amalfi Coast, and of course, Positano was at the top of our must-see list.

My first roll of Harman Phoenix 200 | Shot on Canon P / 35mm

I shot my first roll of Harman Phoenix 200 throughout August and September. These are a few street shots from uptown Frankfurt, the Messe area, my home district Ginnheim, as well as Bockenheim and Höchst.

The results turned out better than I expected. After watching several film YouTubers review this stock, I was worried the colors would lean too much toward red, and that the contrast might be too harsh for midday shots. There is a noticeable red tint, and some halation, but I think it’s still acceptable. This film works well if you’re going for that specific look or effect, but it’s not ideal for everyday or vacation photography — at least not for me. I do like how the colors of the sky came out, though.

Overall, it’s a decent first attempt by Ilford/Harman at color film. I hope they continue to develop and improve it further.

A low-angle view of a tall brick building with arched windows and ornate architectural details against a clear sky.

A sunny urban street with a clock tower in the background, tram tracks, cars, and a mural on a nearby building.

A narrow, shaded brick alleyway with an arched passage, surrounded by greenery and trees, leading to a garden area in the background.

A small pavilion-like structure with a triangular roof and four pillars, covered in graffiti, stands in a grassy park area surrounded by trees.

A large, modern exhibition hall marked ‘Messe Frankfurt’ with the number 4 on its facade, surrounded by trees and a few people walking near the entrance. The building is bathed in warm, late-afternoon sunlight under a partly cloudy sky.

A tall, modern skyscraper with a distinctive architectural design stands against a partly cloudy sky. The building is surrounded by other structures, a road with traffic signs, and a pedestrian bridge, all bathed in warm sunlight.

A calm riverside scene with a boat docked along the shoreline, surrounded by greenery. The sky is partly cloudy, and the water reflects the serene atmosphere. Buildings are visible in the distance on the left, while the right side is lined with trees.

A busy urban street flanked by historic and modern buildings, with a towering glass skyscraper reflecting sunlight in the background. People are walking on the sidewalk, and luxury storefronts, including Prada, are visible in the foreground. The scene is set under a partly cloudy sky, with a blend of classic and contemporary architecture.

A charming town square with traditional half-timbered houses and outdoor seating for cafes and restaurants. Large umbrellas provide shade for patrons enjoying the sunny weather. The square also features an old stone well in the center, with people relaxing and dining in a relaxed atmosphere. Trees and a bright sky complete the picturesque scene.

A historic castle with a tall, white cylindrical tower topped by a domed roof, set against a bright blue sky. The building features a combination of traditional architectural styles, with ornate details and smaller turrets. The castle’s light facade contrasts with the surrounding greenery, creating a picturesque scene.

A scenic riverside view with a road running parallel to the water, filled with cars and pedestrians. On the left, a historic tower rises above the treetops, while the river flows gently on the right, lined with greenery and small boats. The sky is clear with a few scattered clouds, contributing to a peaceful and sunny atmosphere.

The Browser I was waiting for

In times when one does not want to use Chrome or other Chromium-based browsers, and the new and trendy browsers like Arc are Chromium-based, the choice is quite limited—especially if you want proper extensions and a design that doesn’t suck. So, Firefox is out because it looks terrible. But Gecko is fast and reliable. In the search for a Gecko-based browser that tries to be a bit more modern and doesn’t look terrible, I stumbled upon Zen Browser. It’s basically “just” a Firefox fork with a nice UI that adapts modern ideas for tab management. It’s still in alpha and sometimes has bugs, but it works very well, and it’s currently my default browser on both my private and work computers.

Picture of the Münchner Straße

This Picture was taken on a very cold but sunny Tuesday morning in May on the Münchner Straße in Frankfurt am Main with an iPhone X using its 50mm-style lens. I used a preset-filter to give the image a little bit more warmth than the camera originaly did. But I feel the colors are pretty much like they were on this day.
