The fallen one

270/366 If a tree falls in the woods its ghostly trunk is sometimes turned into a plaything for children.

Returning back to the trees and forests of Switzerland, one fine Summer day I decided to head out exploring with two new black and white films from Lomography, Babylon and Fantôme. Both of these films are ultra slow at ISO 13 and 8, respectively, which meant I would be looking to photograph with a wide aperture. Armed with my trusty Noctilux f1 I was even able to shoot handheld at reasonable shutter speeds inside the forest. The results from the Babylon combined with the Noctilux are ultra dreamy in a way I love. You’ll be seeing more of this combination, I’m sure.

    1. Thanks Karen! I have been hoping for a while to find a really slow film so that I can use my fast lenses wide open during the day without having to resort to filters. I really like the results I got from the first roll and will surely shoot another soon (but maybe with a less dreamy lens next time).
      Two thumbs up from me. 🙂
