In my pursuit of shooting more film regularly in 2025, I shot two rolls of film in February. Both rolls were captured using my Minolta X-700 with the 35mm f/1.8 lens.

  • One roll of Ilford HP5, shot at 800 ISO with a yellow filter. I developed it at home in HC-110 Solution A and scanned it using my Fuji X-E4 and the Minolta MD 50mm macro lens.
  • One roll of Kodak Portra 800, which was developed and scanned by my local lab.

The images were taken in and around the Städel Museum in Frankfurt, the Bahnhofsviertel area, the city center of Frankfurt, and within the scenic landscapes of the Odenwald region.
