58 yrs old Hasselblad 500 C vs. RICOH GR II

Despite my love for my RICOH GR II I still shoot film, recently even more. This blogpost shows two images of the Cima di Fojorina (Southern Swiss Alps), made with the Hasselblad 500 C, Carl Zeiss Planar f=80 mm 1:2.8, Kodak Portra 400 (120) and the RICOH GR II, GR Lens f=18.3 mm 1:2.8.

Afterwork. Summer Solstice 2019.

June 21, 2019. Photoessay. Berne, Switzerland.

Afterwork.

Savouring a fine glass of B.O.R.I.S. The Crusher Oatmeal Stout and a small plate of this delicious sushi of Piedmontese beef at the Biercafe ‘Au Trappiste’; afterwards enjoying the delicious icecream (two cones with fior di latte and nocciola, and joghurt and lavender – what a dream!) at the Gelateria di Berna (Marzili); then I chased the late evening light on the skyline at ‘Zytglogge’ in Berne, before my check in at Fleury’s. What a beautiful and intense day!
