My 10.000 hours of photography...

Martin Martinsson. Swedish Architect. Currently based in Munich, Germany. I am just exploring. There is no style.

WALIMEX TILT SHIFT TS24mm

I always wanted to do some proper architectural photography! Finally I’ve gotten my hands on tiltshift lens that works with my Fujifilm X-pro1. 

The lens is attached to the camera with a metabones speed booster for Nikon G-mount so no crop-factor. Amazing set up!

Here are some of my first test shots from an abandoned factory in Malmö, Sweden.

Lomography - Smudged in Color: Pinhole Graphics

Pinhole photography does more than it suggests. The camera user becomes a camera maker. And with a greater camera IQ, the photographer can cross over to the territory of painting.

A photo of mine in Lomo Magazine!

INFRARED AT THE ISAR

I went for a walk along the Isar recently. I haven’t been using my digital camera for quite some time so I decided to bring it along. Since I’ve already been taking a lot of photos in the area I decided to spice things up a little try some Infrared photography once again.

I have mixed feelings about this type of photos. It sort of feels like a cheap trick to try to make something completely mundane look interesting by shooting them in false colours. Somewhat bad taste in my opinion. Still there is something interesting about it... Surrealistic and beautiful and it really puts emphasis on the vegetation. It is also really fun to shoot and process!

I don’t know if I’ll do this again soon. I actually have a few rolls of 35- and 120 mm Kodak Aerochrome waiting for me in the freezer. Then we are talking real analogue infrared photography!

The above photos were shot with my Fujifilm X-pro1 camera with a Fujinon XF35mm f1,4 lens at f5,6. About 15-30 seconds exposure. Colour balance 2000K. Inverted red and blue colour channel.

THE SCENT OF FLOWERS

“Shooting flowers is boring” (or is it really???). Mapplethorpe got away with it... (no other comparison...).

I really like flowers. That is why put my nose in them.

Some recent experiment with my P-sharan Pinhole camera. The camera was loaded with Cinestill 800. Scanned from negative using an Epson Perfection V700 and a digitaliza scanning mask.
