Your monochrome work is great Marcel 🔥. I love the dark atmosphere. But I’m curious, why did you use a specific camera for each series? Was it because that camera suited the scene better, or was it just a challenge you set for yourself?
Thanks Leon. Yes I used the cameras for specific subjects. On the streets I prefer the light, unnoticeable Ricoh, when doing landscapes the Pentax is better suited and for diptychs I used the analog Olympus half frame to shoot two photos that form a pair. Shot with B&W film (Tri-X) and of course the Pentax has a monochrome sensor, so only the Ricoh photos are edited.
Absolutely love this Marcel, congratulations! If you weren't mentioning the different cameras, I don't think anyone would notice. Your black and white treatment is unique to you and your eye.
Wonderful images, Marcel! It looks like you both had a fantastic time on the island. I especially like the diptychs—particularly the one with the tire tracks and vehicle on the sand.
Stunning work.
Monochrome always works!
Love them all! The second set appeals to me the most. I love the tones in it!
Also, excellent diptychs!
That Pentax Monochrome is absolutely wonderful
To my eye, they look very similar, except that the RICOH appears more contrasty — but that’s probably due to the environment and your settings.

Ah, now I get why you brought the Olympus as your third camera. A half-frame camera — wow! 🙌
Those Pentax images are great, any chance to see them in a larger format?
I'll send you a DM
A wonderful set of images Marcel - I really like that set of landscapes, you've achieved a lovely range of tones.
Thanks Lin. Those landscapes are straight out of camera, unedited. That Pentax is a beast.
The diptychs work well. Nice juxtaposition of images.
Thanks, Mark
Love these, Marcel. Great work. Those GRs are fun little cameras.
They are. My little companion for years.
I love all cameras, all three sets of photos. Thanks for posting.
Thank you, James

Love the diptychs!
Thanks Xavi. Appreciate it very much.

Like that one too. In fact it was one of the first I made.
Lovely work Marcel. I ben in NL opgegroeid en het landschap is heel herkenbaar. Ik kijk naar jouw foto’s en voel me weer een beetje thuis 😊🇳🇱
Thanks Wendy. The Wadden islands are not nearby, but it sure feels like home to me.
Ik kom uit de Haarlemmermeer maar als kind gingen wij vaak naar Texel voor de zomervakantie.
