I had time for a really quick photoshoot on a bridge overseeing multiple train tracks in Frankfurt’s east end. It was also freezing cold and wet so I did these shots in a hurry. Join me for some Frankfurt trainspotting.
During a recent visit up to Germany’s North Sea coast, I couldn’t resist but bring along my large format gear to take advantage of wide open spaces and fight against some extremely changeable weather. Here are some impressions of the East Frisian coastline in large format!
Stopping over in Frankfurt en route up north, I took the opportunity to meet some fellow analogue photographers and visit the incredible ‘Sprudelhof’ spa in Bad Nauheim. Join me for a look back in time with plenty of cameras to look at too!
I enjoyed my first large format camera visit to Munich’s Olympic rowing lake so much that I returned a week later, this time with 3 other large format shooters! Join me for more big negative views including some Kodak Ektar sheet film.

Another ‘World in Large Format’ and incidentally more of the Olympic venues in Munich; this time the Olympic rowing lake with a focus on the incredible 50 year old 10,000 capacity stands along with some great weather. Join me for my impressions on Fomapan 100 film.

The next part of this adventure sees a visit to the town of Kempten, followed by a trip into the Bavarian wilderness and finally resting on the top of a cliff for the evening. Join me for more expired film adventures in Bavaria.
