Dachstein 4 Upload.jpg

I shot the image on a Rolleiflex 2.8 F/80mm with Kodak Portra 400 120 Film.

The shot was taken on the plateau of Dachstein in Austria. I was afraid my Rolleiflex camera (a bit heavy) will drop down when I made the image. However, everything worked out fine. The picture is far from perfect, lots of noise and dust particles where visible when I scanned the negative. What I like on film is sometimes the imperfection. And this makes it more alive, more real in a sense. Nothing wrong with perfect digital images, but most of the time people heavily editing their work with "Mickey Mouse" colours which dont even exist. The image they took looked very different than the one they post on steemit or other popular platforms, if you know what I mean. Anyways, hope you dont get bored of my writing and just enjoy the view!

"....the imperfection. And this makes it more alive, more real in a sense" so true! Love it. Perfection, in this world, is rare; imperfections have their own beauty.

thank you for the nice comment

Nice one, at least you snapped something even though it is not perfect.

thank you for stopping by and commenting

wow amazing photo

Spectacular view! Love the minimalist approach :))

I love minimalism too :) thx for commenting

One of my friends have been getting really into shooting with film lately. It seemed odd at first, but i can definitely see the charm in it now. Sure it's lovely to be able to take a thousand photos without worries, but limiting yourself by shooting with film forces creativity in another way. I haven't tried it myself yet, but it seems very cool :)

Def worth trying out.
It doesn't replace digital, it's something extra.

Yeah, exactly. I would really like to try a black room at one point. Would be really cool seeing your image "come to life", i think.

Yes your approach is very different than with a digital tool. Try it out! It's lots of fun especially when the outcome is nice. Thx for commenting

I'll try it out as soon as i get my hands on the right camera (and film) ^^

Wow! I know it's just "blue" but why the heck it's so beautiful! Very nice photo @nikokafka!

blue is a warm colour :) thx

Beautiful. Makes me imagine walking towards those mountains. More like this please.

More to come for sure :) thx

the image is beautiful as you shown us the natural beauty of nature. your works are great good job and keep doing you @nikokafka

What caught my attention was the beautiful photo and when I decided to check out the full post, it did not disappoint :-)
I like your writing and style, it's very authentic!

One question I have though - how cold was it when you took the picture?
;-) @nikokafka

Hey man thx for the nice comment. It was fucking cold! I think around -10 degrees or so, but the sun was warm, so when I took my photos I was allright for a couple of minutes :)

What a wonderful and peaceful image. Thank you for sharing!

I am glad you like it. Thx

It looks OK to me, nice picture.

Love it! Great shot and also a huge fan of unedited, original photos. Think there’s a lot to be said about them and something not seen to often anymore

Beautiful image.
Gorgeous colours. Love the simplicity and scenerity of your photo.
That is an aircraft in the middle not a scratch isn't it?

Yes its a white trail from a jet I suppose. I shot it on purpose to frame it that way...
thx for the comment

magnificent photograph! How did you get above the clouds again? At first I thought it was taken from a plane.
