Flektogon

Filed under: Photography — at 6:55 am

I got the Flektogon I ordered from cupog on eBay. He is a very reliable supplier of cameras and seems to have a good eye for medium format.

I should have probably been more careful, but I just took the camera with me when I was going to be gone for a little over a week. Almost all of these are from Odense in Denmark. I was walking across a bridge over Odense å (creek/stream, not big enough to be called a river) when I heard some noise and saw that the canoeists were launching. It was late afternoon and I figured the lens would flare, so I tried to protect it from direct light as much as I could.

The next ones are from the older part of town (there is not much left of it).

The H C Andersen Museum is in the same part of town. It was the poorest part of town. He denied it (I never lived in a shack like that, he wrote) but everything points to this being his birthplace. Several families lived in about 3 rooms.

This one is from a street called “coin street”. Officially coins were never minted in Odense, but they seem to have been anyway.

I walk along the “å” (stream) that runs through Odense quite a lot. It’s a 3km walk from the center of town out to where I stay (still in town).

There is a policy to let fallen trees remain where they are. They provide a habitat for bugs and food for birds.
