Back from testing and shooting that took place two weeks ago, I could not wait too long until developing the new film. I was curious like a cat how the images would come out. A really BIG surprize and much better than expected.

I have tested the Rollei Universal 200, a black&white medium format film manufactured by Rolleifilm (http://www.rolleifilm.com) under conditions I normally use to take my pictures, including lots of structures, harsh light and deep shadows, using reflective clothes fabric and also a huge red scarf to test the red sensivity of the film.

What I can say now is, that the film honors the right exposure/metering with an immense amount of details and fine gradients from pure white to deep blacks.

I’m going to write a review with example images pretty soon, but for now I just wanted to leave these lines here and praise the film as my new film for the next shootings.

Have a great weekend, take care,

Vernon Trent

The exhibition will open tomorrow and I’m really looking forward to meet some old friends and also make some new contacts and meet interesting people.

Sorry for my lack of activities during the last weeks… I have been pretty busy and I tell you, if the day would have 60 hours, I still would complain about time… :-)

The Buchta/Schramm Gallery in Krefeld, Germany is organizing a group exhibition to introduce some new talented artists and I have been asked to contribute with some of my work to support the venue.
For some of the contributing artists, this venue is their first public exhibition and I really love to support such group exhibitions with my work.
