Tried a bit something new for me - night shooting on film. Past Saturday was a cold but otherwise mostly clear night to explore. I shot with Ilford XP2 400 at ISO 400 with my Leica M6. The otherwise quite reliable internal camera metering didn't do well in the night with high contrast scenes and bright spots - I had to use my external meter instead - lots of good learning here. Developed the film with the C-41 process. Lenses used are CV 21/1.8 and CV 35/1.2 II.
Some more night shooting with film - this time with Leica M7 and the same set of lenses as mentioned in my earlier B&W post, the CV 35/1.2 II and CV 21/1.8. Kodak UltraMax 400, home-developed in C-41.
At last, the book is finished and the website is up: frogleaping.org
The book is being shipped from Germany with a fantastic shipping cost to Rest of World (beyond the EU) of €12.89 — and €7.39 to the EU, and less than that in Germany.
More great news is that I have a book signing at the Polka Galerie in Paris on Saturday, 9 November at 13:00. Here are the photographers particpating in the Polka book signing program on that day :
