Mallorca never disappoints.⭐️
The first few days came with some rain, but we still spent some time hiking in the mountains. Tonight I turn 30, and honestly, I can’t imagine a better place to be right now.

Shoot with what you have, it’s never about the camera. 🎞️⭐️
The best camera is the one you’ve got with you.
Every camera comes with its own strengths quirks and limitations. One might lock you into a fixed lens but that limitation can spark creativity in ways you didn’t expect. Another gives you a built in flash you can play with while others push you to find light differently.
It’s not about having the perfect gear it’s about how you use it.
What’s your favorite camera to shoot with?💌
POV: you bring your small camera on vacation 🌞💌
This little camera has been my travel companion on every trip. Over a thousand photos captured with it and it has never let me down. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
What’s your go to camera?
Spring, captured on the Leica M6 🎞️💌🙂↕️
There’s something about shooting with the Leica M6 that keeps pulling me back. The simplicity, the pace, the way it makes you see differently. I’m genuinely happy with a lot of the images I get from it, but I’ve been running into a recurring issue I can’t fully figure out.
No matter which lab I try here in Berlin, whether it’s Film Speed Lab, Safelight Berlin, or Foto Kotti, my scans often come back much grainier than expected, with shadows that feel lifted and less contrasty than how I actually exposed the shot. Sometimes the results are super clean, sharp, and exactly what I imagined, and other times they look overly sharpened, noisy, and honestly kind of trashy.
What really gets to me is that when I drop off rolls from a cheap 100€ point and shoot at the exact same labs, I sometimes get better results than with the M6. That’s the part that genuinely makes me question my own photography.
I know the meter on the Leica M6 takes some getting used to, but this inconsistency makes me wonder if it’s more about scanning than shooting.
Would really appreciate your thoughts, especially from those of you consistently getting clean and balanced film scans. And please don’t say just scan yourself, I really don’t have the time for that 😅
