Athletic Bilbao fans camp through Horizon202 film shooter – Barcelona
now or never !!
i shooted this series in Barcelona in May 2015 and now is the right time to show it until this day will go to the tunnels of a history. it was unsuccessful for Athletic Bilbao – 1-3, i found a page about this game on Wiki with some less or more useful information, but this post is not about this game and not about the football… as not a fan of this game, by some “mistake” i spent a few hours in the colorful and emotionally boiling camp of Bilbao fans. Beer, rock performance, great vibes kept me smiling and shooting. i decided to use panoramic Horizon 202 film camera with the aim to connect more environment and emotions together.
the second special detail of this series is a kind of developing. i processed it in semi-stand home-made developing. it was long one hour of waiting with just a few turns in the middle.
a little more details about the process – 2 minutes of soaking in a clean 20C water. 1+100 Rodinal (one shoot) developer – one hour with a few turns in the middle. one minute agitation in a clean 20C water and finally 8 min of fixing in Agfa Fix-AG 1+7. 2 minutes of the wetting agent at the end. i got very clean results with great tonal range on all frames.
enjoy…
thank you.
Wonderful photos, as so often.
Thank you Paula !!
the entire series is cool … very different compared to what we usually see of this kind of event …
It was my first time in this kind of events, so they tryed everything with goal that I’ll stay ;-)) thank you Ijon !!
Great post Victor, excellent shots with that Horizon, I almost got one of those cameras! Nice to see what can be done with these cameras.
Hey Sam ! Thank you for taking a look. I have this cameea with every day now 😉
Doing this with a Horizon is brilliant. Anbd I think it was your benefit not being a football fan to have a different approach to shoot these excellent photos! Very different from the “normal” fan or football photos – in a most positive meaning. I love them all!
And not to forget, Victor: Thank you very very much for adding me on your blog-roll. I feel deeply honored.
Hey Juergen ! Thank you for the kind words 😉 youre right – i was absolutely neutral and enjoyed beer, music and people’s vibes ;-). And its a pleasure to have a link to your blog on my pages. I always wanted to make blogroll just only now got the idea how to finish it.
I love Horiyon! Is it the original or the Lomo remake:)
Thank you for the following and for this comment Tsvetina ! I think that Horizon and Lomo cameras use absolutely different techniques for the panorama mood. There is mechanical motor in Horizon
Amazing series. Very well done.
Thank you very much !! I developed in same manner another 35mm roll exposed with same panoramic camera in the southern area of Israel two weeks ago. The mountains area was windy, cold, sunny and cloudy. I hope to scan the negatives asap !!
