Blurred Pantograph EMU at Radotin(?), Prague, CZ,…

I'm pretty sure this was at Praha-Radotin, although it could have been Smichov. It's too blurred to tell for sure. The combination of the rain and the slow shutter (again because of dark and gloomy weather late in the day) resulted in this sort of impressionistic look for a Class 451 or 452 "Pantograph" EMU sitting in the station.

Alter Peter Kirche, Munchen (Munich), Bayern, Germ…

The current Alter Peter Kirche, constructed in 1368, is the oldest church in Munich, but actually replaced an even older church constructed on the site in 1290, which in turn had replaced an even older one from 1158, leading some historians to believe that it may have been the starting point for the city. The spire, which is clearly not gothic, was added in the 17th Century. This photo, incidentally, is gloomy because it was raining (notice the umbrellas). This was what the weather was like for most of my visit.

Virgin Voyager In The Rain At Leeds New Station, L…

The weather was a bit rainy the while time we were in Leeds, so the lighting on this shot is a little dark, meaning a slow shutter, and hence some blurring. I still like it, though.

Departure From London King's Cross, London, Englan…

Here's an additional bonus shot of my departure from King's Cross, which I forgot in include earlier. I hope you like it. Notice that in addition to the Intercity 225s, there's also an older Intercity 125 peeking out. GNER use them to serve cities north of Edinburgh that don't have electrification.

Vaclavske Namesti In The Rain, Prague, CZ, 2007

This is part of a larger experiment with loading my Ikoflex with color film. This roll was badly underexposed, though, because of the shutter having no intermediate settings between 1/100 and 1/300, and of course my lack of skill. I'm wondering if the batteries in my Gossen Polysix lightmeter are a problem, too. I've also got a bit of a blue cast over everything, which I've noticed to a lesser degree with other photos taken with a Zeiss, and I've got vignetting ala Holga or Lomo, although the vignetting is something I've experienced before with underexposed Ikoflex shots. I also had considerable light leaks on this roll, although I doubt this is the camera, as I mishandled the film several times, and we know how 120 is. The issues with the film, I sense, also inhibited the lab from doing a good scan. Any tips on how to get the most out of color in an Ikoflex or other old Zeiss-lensed TLR would be welcome. :-)
