I was at a concert by the Dirty Pretty Things (who includes three former band members of The Libertines). They performed in a pretty small club in Bern, so it was quite cool in that intimate atmosphere. Took my Leica MP with me and my Holga, both loaded with some black and white films. Leica with Tri-X, which I pushed to 1600, and the Holga with Ilford HP5.
Waiting outside the club until the gig started. 1/4th at f/2 at 1600 – it was so dark.
Movement blur due to the 1/8th exposure time.
Man. He wasn't really grabbing her ass, but he was sort of scratching it...I had to laugh.
Aww, very decisive moment. Mind the arms and the eyes.
Holga with built-in flash!
Outside after the concert, we were standing together, being drunk and blabbering about uninteresting stuff, when suddenly a guy joined and asking us, what we were doing. It was Carl Barat, the singer of the band and former singer of the Libertines and former band-mate of Pete Doherty. I can't believe I actually managed to get such a sharp picture at 1/4th after quite some gin tonics. Gotta say, he's a pretty cool guy.
Patrik wanted to do a holga-flash shot of Gary, the drummer of the band. 1/4th again.
Here's the Holga shot.
After the concert.
We decided to leave the club and to walk around somewhere in the oldtown. We were searching for some food, but we were out of luck.
How does it feel to be hungry and (more or less) drunk at 5.30am in the morning? <3
Anyway, got back to Zurich with the first train at 6am. Apparently, I wasn't the only one being that tired.
Some random shots from Zurich to finish the rolls:
Very strong contrast between the sun and the shadow.
Used the remaining frames on my MP for some testshots and realized that I have to CLA it, since part of the left side sometimes gets a little darker than the rest of the frame at 1/1000th. Sucks, but it has to be.
Hope you're all well. Thanks for looking.
