Photo train trip part 2, Kvissel

Posted on 22/11/2020 by keis

This is part 2 of the photo train trip. For part one see here

It is sadly still Corona days, so when you take the train in Denmark, or any other kind of public transportation, mask is mandatory. This is my good Photo buddy Jim demonstrating how to look awesome for a corona times portrait (Leica M5, with 50mm Summicron + Kodak Ultramax 400). I really like the look of this!

Kvissel Train station, was the second stop of the trip. The light was not great, as usually in late autumn in Denmark, gray and flat. But we still had an awesome time taking pictures around the station. Kvissel is a small town with a population of around 395 people, so most of the town is centered around the station, which is probably also one of the things keeping this small sleepy town alive, cause not a lot was happening. Most of the pictures here are shot on the Leica M5, and a few on the Fujifilm X-100f.

Whats left of the doctors house, close to the station we found the old “Medical” house, where the town doctor used to live, the building was for sale, and i dont think a doctor is coming back to Kvissel any time soon. Fell for this litlle fellow who will be there for a long time in the waiting room, no kids are coming to play….

The town of Kvissel has seen better days, and the overall impresssion was of a small town, slowly dying. To many houses not being maintained.

The Church was probably the highlight of the town, a beautiful old Church that looked amazing in the autumn surroundings, and was very well maintained

Was fun to see Kvissel town, its not a place you would usually go, and that was the whole idea with that trip 🙂 but after that it was back to the station and catch the train to our next destination Frederikshavn. Cya in the next post

Photo train trip part 1

Posted on 15/11/2020 by admin

In these times, you find what photo adventure you can locally. So i came up with the good idea(If you ask me 🙂 ), for a photo train ride, from Hjørring to Skagen(The most northern city in Denmark). Get off at the small stations under way, take pictures for an hour, and then take the train to the next city. We could not cover all stations, but we got a couple, and then we have more for another trip!

I meet up with a good photo buddy, who agreed to accompany me for the day. I tried to pack small, and succeeded, if you ask me. I only brought my Leica M5 with a 50mm Summicron, loads of film, and a Fujifilm X-100F. Everyone know that you always need to bring a least two cameras, so that is as small as you can make it ! 🙂

We started out at Hjørring Train station at 9 in the morning on a sunday, obviously not the most busy time of the day. The first couple of pictures here is all shot with the X-100 F.

First stop of the day, was the small town of Tolne, not one of places that draws a lot of tourists. We took a walk round the town for a little hour, which probably is the maximum you can walk within the town. Not a town with a lot of life on the surface at least, and the highlight of the walk was finding the abandoned car you see in the pictures near the bottom. The majority of the pictures here are shot with the Leica M5 and some Expired Kodak 400.

The abandoned House. We found an abandoned house, or it at least looked that way, when we peeked into the old garage, we found this beautiful old car. Not a car dude, so dont know the model. If you know it, write a comment 🙂

After that, it was back to the station to catch the next train.

And onwards to the next town of Kvissel. Which will come in the next post 🙂

Danish summer, and an old Bronica SQ-A

Posted on 15/11/2020 by admin

Recently i was on a Photo trip, with a bunch of Fuji people (I shoot Digital Fuji) to the southernmost part of Denmark called Falster, and in classic danish style, it RAINED a lot. But I love the look of the of that medium format film 🙂 The girl who arranged the photo trip, generously allowed us to take pictures in her house and garden, while we sheltered from the rain.

Photo walk in Hirtshals Part 1

Posted on 26/09/2020 by keis

A couple of weeks ago, I took a photo trip the the town of Hirtshals in the Northern part of Denmark with my good friend Bogdan. Hirtshals is known for fishing boats and ferries to Norway. But I never really took a walk around town there. So after a small search on google we found a nice 12km walk that took us around the town. I was shooting on my trusty Nikon F4s + 50mm, and had loaded some Fomapan 100 for the first post here.

First pictures are from the harbor areas, which is very industrial, not that exiting to walk in, but part of the route, so we walked it, and got some nice industrial pictures.

Lets admit it, part 2, which I will post later, is the scenic route ! But i really like the black and white film is these industrial settings. It kinda fits the theme 🙂

After the harbor, we reached an area still at the coast, with some old bunkers from World war 2. Those things were build to last, and there is a lot of them along the Danish west coats. And a little Hirtshals life at the local inn, and some random shots around town.

And hey, if there is a tunnel, you are obliged to make tunnel pictures, everyone knows that ! 🙂 and thx to Bogdan for playing along as usual !

I actually think, that Fomapan 100 is my favorite B&W Budget movie, I like the ok fine grain, and some nice contrast (These have been boosted a little in post, as I overexposed a little to much) (I really dislike Fomapan 400, way to grainy for my taste) Have a great day, and stay safe
