Monochrome Germany

A roll of Ilford HP-5 run thru a ≈60 year old Yaschica Lynx while in Frankfurt and Hamburg Germany, July 2024.

First up, Frankfurt, a rather boring German city with *some* interesting architecture. From my hotel room:


Bridge over the Main (river):

And snapped from said bridge:

Downside of using a rangefinder - parallax error. The boat is not positioned exactly where I thought it would have been as the camera's viewfinder and lens are on slightly different planes:

The Platz (city center):

And main train station:

Finally, I like how the camera glitched out a bit and didn't quite advance properly, slightly double exposing each of these two adjacent frames:

And then on to Hamburg for about 30 hours. I had a weekend to kill and Hamburg > Frankfurt. Hamburg is Germany's second-largest city and is a port city with more bridges than any other city in Europe. I'd previously been there four or so times and have always found it to be incredibly photogenic.

Tour boats on the Alsterfontäne:









More water and canals:









And some architecture:







I really like this cycling-themed signage. The shop in this building had art prints of it available. Cool, but not 160€ cool:
