Finally developed and scanned 9 rolls from the holidays in Athens. 20 days of walking around town with my camera, starting with a neopan 400, now officially my favourite everyday film, completely in sync with my particular summicron. All frames are naturally scanned along with the negatives:

In Athens switching to TX trying to finish all remaining Kodak rolls.  There’s a lot of shopping goin’ on.

 tram hip shot #2:

 scanning flat on the V700, to get more tones and some nice results like the next one, that look good on low contrast:

 

 

 

 

 

 shot from a taxi (one of the advantages of not driving yourself):

 

 fooling around with that shadow:

 

 the object looked like it too was waiting for the bus:

 moments before the “don’t take any pictures speech” in H&M:

 Clear sunny days, despite of the cold, helped for good pictures. Street hip shot #3:

 pick a dog house, any dog house:

 switching back to neopan 400, this was the best I could do to get the shot from the back of a moving taxi. He looked pretty out of place staring through that telescope in the middle of the afternoon:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 classic:

 

 

 I really like this one, waited till there was a lot going on in the frame:

 two rolls of neopan 1600, shot @800:

love that facial expression:

shot at zara, I felt really bad for the people working in big department stores during the holidays. crazy and hectic:

subway hip shot #3:

the occasional Lego Yoda:

the sight of empty streets like this in Athens at 1:30 during Christmas would be an alien experience 5-6 years ago:

I quite like this one, it looks mysterious:

some clowns are taller than others:

supermarkets right before new year’s, not very enjoyable:

no smoking with shadows:

got some lovely subways shots with the Neopan 1600:

subway hip shot #4:

perhaps my favourite shot from the whole batch:

I have a thing for disco balls:
