Overexposed but interesting

[Julian Tanase]

While visiting the Sinsheim museum (indoor exhibitions), I have tried to make do with the film I had in the Nikon FM3A, which was a roll of Rollei Retro 80s. I managed to take a few good shots, but some of the other ones were grossly overexposed. I do admit it’s my fault, as I have somehow messed up with the camera and film settings.

However, instead of binning these, I decided to post them here, as they are not entirely rubbish, if you ask me. The barely seen planes and cars have an interesting feeling when seen like that, lacking fine details and good lighting. They render a completely different vibe, in my opinion.

The white paint on that Ford makes for an interesting high contrast image, Julian. The 2nd one looks like a Cadillac. Is it? The last is clearly a Mercedes. Three interesting images.

The second one is great, to my eye. I like the way it's looming out of the inky black.

You are right on all accounts, Brian, as far as I remember the descriptions.

The under-exposure has certainly resulted in an almost graphic rendering and, as you wrote, worth retaining. I love the starkness of the first and the minimal detail in the last is rather effective I think..

Thank you, Pete !

I especially like the last one - looks almost like some kind of line drawing or print.

I like that too. A touch of extra light would've been nice, though
