Leica Camera released a new iPad app named S-Magazine, is a new platform for professional photographers to freely publish their latest pictures. The S-Magazine presents current ad campaigns and editorial photo series from international photographers.

Beyond that, the S-Magazine reflects current trends in modern commercial photography – from fashion and beauty to interior design and still lifes. This essential guide for professional photographers and a great source of inspiration for me is available through iTunes. But first I have to get my hands on the next iPad to enjoy these nice publications.

Todd McLellan is a talented photographer from Canada who has a thing for photography and dissembling old mechanical machines. He shot a serie of various products like a camera, alarm clock, telephone and a typewriter.

Really amazing to see how many parts were used for just one product. And also, it’s almost all metal. I wonder how my Leica M3 will look like but I think I’ll leave it up to Todd to do it and hope he does so one time.

It’s good to have Len around all the time. Especially in combination with my Leica. They make a perfect couple to carry with you every day. when that finger starts to get itchy on the camera.

Here are a couple shots from random occasions though all taken with the same film. These photos were taken with a Leica M3 camera, 50mm Summicron lens, F2 wide open, Fuji Superia 200 and Ilford XP2 400 ISO film. And scanned with an Epson Perfection V500 scanner.

Go see.

Tumblr and it’s photography are awesome. I select the finest Tumblr photos which came across in my Tumblr dashboard and put them in a Cloud Cuckoo Photo Bliss.

Photo Bliss is a fine selection of inspiring photos found on Tumblr and here and there on the interwebs. Click on the photo to re-direct to the Cloud Cuckoo Tumblr post to reach to the source of the photo.

Here’s the 19th set in the Photo Bliss series. As always, do enjoy!

What a lovely day for some outdoor analog shooting with APC friends! A warm welcome to two new participants Hanke and Brian. Great to have them on the APC bandwagon. I am looking forward to see your analog photos.

It’s not easy to set a date in the Netherlands to do some outdoor shooting a couple weeks upfront the actual event. Lucky for us we had the perfect after summer weather. Jeff and Isabel had the idea to head for the woods to capture the autumn look. Splendid idea!

We had a nice stroll through the Kralingse Bos in Rotterdam and yeah, we shot some analog photos and I would like to share mine taken during APC no.6.

I had my Little Hamster Len in my rangefinder the other day while having lunch and showing off a Yardi bag and her Lennebelle Tassel bracelet when I had to shoot some more photos before the film could be developed.

These analog photos were taken with a Leica M3 camera, Summicron 50mm lens and Fuji Superia 800 film. The negatives were scanned with an Epson Perfection V500 scanner.

While we had Analog Photo Collective Meetup no.6 last weekend I find myself just finishing my APC no.5 photos.

Jeroen had the idea to have a meetup during the evening for some low-light photography. Great idea! Unfortunately I found out that my tripod gave up on me and I didn’t bring a remote shutter. So I prepared myself for some blurry shots and the result didn’t prove me wrong.

These were shot with a Leica M3 camera with a 50mm Summicron lens and Fuji Superia 800 film. I’m not too hyped over the film yet some shots turned out pretty nice.

Hope to share the APC no.6 photos soon!

I recently developed a roll of film with a lot of different happenings on it. One of them was the Wereld van Witte de With Festival in Rotterdam. Here are a couple analog photos from that event.

These photos were taken with a Leica M3 camera, Summicron 50mm lens and Fuji Superia 800 film. the negatives were scanned with the Epson Perfection V500.

Hope to post some more shots this weekend. Be good all.

Finally, my Lowlands 2011 photos are here. These photos where taken with a Leica M3 camera with a Leica 50mm Summicron lens. I used two kinds of film. Fuji Velvia 100 and Fuji Provia 100. I had the Provia 100 crossed during development.

I want to share a little selection with you guys because it took me so long to produce these scans. What are your thoughts? Do you like them? I pretty much do.

Looking back at the festival I wish I had taken more time to shoot good photos. Wandering on my own for a couple of hours just to get that one shot. Oh well, there is always a next Lowlands.

How cool! I spotted this guy at Lowlands with an Autobot and Decepticon Transformers logo on his calves.

I just had to make a photo of it.

See it in hi-res in my Flickr photostream.

This guy sure must be responsible for some extra heartbeats per minute for some analog photography, instant film and Polaroid lovers.

Photojojo is responsible for the limited edition of the Polaroid SX-70 camera. Original Polaroid cameras restored to perfect working condition.

Another festival, another blast. I still can feel VOLTT Loves Summer in my legs. The music was really great on this festival with The Advent as closing act. VOLTT delivered.

Voltt takes place in a industrialized area on the NDSM dock in Amsterdam. The showers and big threatening clouds couldn’t kill the party spirit. Good times all over the place. I was in the photo taking mood and took my iPhone and the Spica app for a spin. Spica is great for taking photos in b/w with high contrast. If you like the mood of these photos I really recommend buying it.

Enough with the talk. I’ll let the photos do the telling. See you next year VOLTT!

The second roll of the roadtrip got back from the lab. It was my first experience with color positive film.

I got myself a Velvia 100 film after seeing the stunning results and after reading some detailed reviews (like the one at KenRockwell) about the film. The high saturation appealed to me so I decided to give it a try.

I’m not quite sure what happened here but not all shots are that highly saturized at all. I think I might have overexposed them a bit. However, some turned out pretty awesome. You really should check out the first one in a higher resolution version, amazing!

Almost all photos were taken in San Sebastián in Spain. Enjoy!

I went on a 1 week camper roadtrip with 3 friends a couple weeks ago. It was a blast! Driving +4.000 km in a really shitty camper, fridge stuffed with warm beer, walking through village centres, eating local dishes, stopping over at some classic packed camping sites… golden.

Our main destination was the Monegros Desert Festival, which was unlike! I brought my Leica M3 with me to shoot some of the roadtrip. Here are the first results. Others will follow soon.

These photos were taken with a Leica M3, 50mm Summicron and Fuji NeoPan 1600 film. The film is causing the somwhat heavy grain on the photos. Hope you like them.

I’m back from the roadtrip which was totally awesome. Preparing a post about it later on when my rolls of film are developed. But that’s not what this post is about.

When I openened my computer I discovered these 3 photos featuring my better half which were on my last developed roll of film. Simply didn’t want to hold these back. So voila. Hope you like them.

For those who are interested. These were shot with a Leica M3, 50mm Summicron, HP5 Plus 400 film and red + uv filter. Have you peeked on my Flickr lately? You really should. I just freshened up my Leica M3 set a bit.
