Silhouetted against that window overlooking the landscape, with your beard jutting out like that, you really do look like what I imagine a viking would look like! Great photographs!
The moody cloudy day and the slow deliberate moves during the shoot went so well with the music. Keeping it black and white was a good idea. Great video, Odin!
I've owned various Rolleiflex cameras over a 70-year period, so this is an amusing and nostalgic trip for me. Rollei TLRs are one of the all-time most brilliant industrial designs and have been copied by dozens of manufacturers. Sad to say, I don't get out much anymore. Shame on me! Rolleis are meant to be worked and will take quite a bit of abuse, but my 3.5F and Rolleicord VB are so pretty it deters me from using them...that and the arthritis. Now if I just had a model who was strong enough to carry my gear AND pose, that would be fine. My doctor said I must think of my heart in pursuing my hobby. Rolleis say, "Let's go. Make it snappy!" and my ticker says, "Whoa!" Thanks for sharing, Odin. Is it true Icelandic models are one reason polar ice caps are melting?
Hi Robert. Sorry to hear that you can´t go out as much as you would like. These Rollei´s sure are great TLR's, I was lucky enough to get mine from a guy who was gifted this camera along with a Zeiss Ikon camera and Kodak Retina IIC from an old lady years ago and he never used them. I got them for a really cheap because he liked the idea of someone actually going to use them :) There are loads of adventurous models out there which I´m sure are willing to assist and being hired if they just know what they are getting into. I say go for it! I would say that the Icelandic models, specially two of them have their share of melting the ice haha That would be Icelandicselkie and Valyrkjan on Instagram, these two ladies are just on another level when it comes to posing on Ice, snow and colder climates :D
I have the F3.5 version of your camera. Brilliant little cameras. Their prices have gone through the roof, in the last couple of years due to the reputed resurgence of film. I like your style of photography. Vry nice. Thanks.
Hi hi, mine is a f/3.5 also, and totally agree, these are some very capable and great little cameras. So much fun to use. When I bought it, I got it with all the filters also which is super nice, can use those also with the Minolta Autocord and the Yashica´s I have, got the same filter mount as the Rollei :)
Very nice! Great photographs, just checked your website as well. I am using Rolleiflex myself, it seems we are similar in age and your interests and actions in photography and music resonate with mine a lot :-). You are more skilled though. Greets from Munich, Bavaria.
Great video capturing the essence of what we do.
Very nice video. I love my Rollei, too.
Nice video, nice photos
