Last week on polderdag, we went for a short ride out to re-photograph some knotwilgen/tree stumps that I had badly exposed the last time... (I've been obsessed with getting the perfect knotwilgen photograph for a few months now, but my fascination with the
tradition of
extreme tree pruning started a few years ago.)
Bad exposure:
I hoped the presence of my scientifically inclined boyfriend would help me be more disciplined about exposure readings.
This time, I managed to get one good shot, and then double expose the second piece of film when my boyfriend turned away.
Good exposure and double exposure:
Yeah, I really don't know how I did that.
Anyways, traveling with a 4x5
field camera and tripod is very easy on a Brompton. The front basket is huge and I don't have to unpack/repack the same way as I would with a regular pannier. It's very convenient and easy to manage. The only problems are with my photography technique, not the transport.

Koudekerk)
Also, I'd like to point out how the landscape had changed in just a month and a half! Flowers blooming everywhere, bugs abound, the stumps are growing new shoots.
A few fuzzy swan babies had appeared!
But yet another swan was still waiting for her nestlings and I was able to stop and take a picture without messing up the film.
