Re: GESO - Metropolis

Thanks!

Maybe I could have left the images a bit darker in post processing. I 
always find that kind of thing hard to judge. The film is supposed to 
give a "desaturated look", or something of that nature.


The gallery thing I'm using wants to scale images to available size 
(with borders) and doesn't offer an easy way to zoom in. The thumbnails 
at the bottom were supposed to have more direct links to the original, 
but sometimes add "frames", too. And maybe the files were also scaled a 
bit on upload. Need to have a closer look at everything if I continue to 
use this...


looks like the monument to the mand in the middle is eying the 
scooter(?) left in font of him

:-)

That's one of those "electric scooters" that seem to be everywhere these 
days. They annoy a lot of people, but I think they make nice subjects 
sometimes.

Yep. Those are nice places.

The fortress is located behind the ship on the second to last picture, 
sort of. In case you wondered.

This is plain, old Oslo. Several shots are from recently developed areas.

I'm not sure it qualifies as a Metropolis, really, but I was looking for
that "theme" at least in part, seeing as it's also the marketing name of
the film. :-)

Ah. Not sure I've watched any of his films in their entirety, but I've 
seen some scenes. Didn't think about them when posting, though.

What is the ‘special’ film you used?


The film is actually called Metropolis. Lomography brand. Which I guess 
often means a repackaged/rebranded version of something else, possibly 
intended for a different purpose, but I think they claim that this one 
is actually a new film.



  I have been taking B&W film photos lately, mainly Ilford FP-4, but I have 
bought five rolls of Ferrania P30 which promises interesting things.

Nice.

  Now I have to find a suitably neo-realist set of subjects.


Exactly. I also got a roll of Lomography Potsdam Kino 100. Might be similar.
