Weltur – Page 3 – Ink, Yarn & Beer

Open Space

Taken with Velvia 100 film in a pre-WW2 Welta Weltur folder, 6×4.5. While out with the camera, it popped open twice – I had jerry-rigged a strap for it but if obviously didn’t work too well! The film was processed in C41 as a result at the local photo shop – to pay more for slide film and potentially nothing seemed ridiculous – so it was cross-processed. I was quite pleased to see a few out of the 16 survived. A bit of work made this picture salvageable. Below is the original cross-processed image, and then a variant in black and white.

Inside the Window

Taken with a ca. 1939 Welta Weltur folding camera on Portra 400.

Sea Between the Seasons

This picture was an accident. The Welta Weltur has no double-exposure prevention mechanism. Potential mistakes to potential artwork! This made me think of the point between the wave and the tideline, where movement increases and decreases imperceptibly to its own rhythms.

November Flowers

This is a test film of flowers on my patio – Ektar 100, Welta Weltur, Epson V600. This was taken to test the sharpness of the lens – and to just use the camera!

By the Garden Wall

Out of the roll of Kodak Ektar 100 I used in the Welta Weltur, this one is my favorite. It has an old-fashioned look to it, which may be due to the fact it is is 1930s lens which is uncoated. I pushed the colors a bit to get the result I liked best. I scanned this with the Epson V600.
