April 17th, 2008

Finally! I shot my very first two rolls of that film everybody is freaking out about so heavily: Tri-X.

I must say, I’m quite pleased by it. Works out pretty well in most situations, especially considering that I pushed it three stops. The following photos show my very very very fadingtoblack saturday I had last week, i hoped that they will give me some hints about what I’ve been doing, but in that case I got disappointed …

It all started here, our neighbours flat, we had some applejuice together …

Dubedubbidubb, fast forwarding a couple of hours to Perishing Mankind, my first metal-gig in Graz, and a really great one as well. I met Latschi there who had been there already for hours, one of those rare moments were I experience him without being more wasted than he is.

Taking a photo of somebody heavily headbanging: check.

Latschi, he decided that it’s time for getting long hair again that evening.

Should have been a quite nice shot I guess, but somebody messed up the focus …

Those people were there too …

The drummerette (female for drummer, whatever …) from Perishing Mankind. We (the boys) had some interesting conversation about her …

Georgeous.

As well.

Then we went over to the first floor (woooo, the first floor), met this totally relaxed guy there.

Latschi posing and moving out of the focus …

Extreme high contrast situation there, wooohoo

Relaxed guy waking up, doing some smoking …

Random portraits, everybody’s always very excited about those …

… except the relaxed guy, he’s just too relaxed for those.

And some blurry things.

That’s the point where it got really nasty. I can’t remember those two guys, but I found myself in a Taxi at some point driving to … no one knows …

And some shots to get that roll finished …

At the turkish supermarket. A situation where Tri-X+3 isn’t suitable anymore, backlight, some light on the one side and quite dark shadows on the other.

Lying around (means: studying).

Yes I definitely wanted to finish that roll to finally know what really happened that saturday. Tri-X doing his job.

And maybe, in some time, I manage to get some right focused pictures, even after I had some glasses of applejuice …
