Hi there, I am sharing here some Results of a new Hobby of mine: Film Photography. Like if you like and share if you want to share. Be kind and take care. Thank you.

A color photograph taken through an open roll-up door into a simply furnished (street food) restaurant. Numerous red Coca-Cola crates are stacked against the right-hand wall; dark tables and metal stools stand in front of them. Bright ceiling lights and several red Chinese ornaments decorate the room. Hanging from the left-hand entrance pillar is an elongated red-and-gold decoration featuring a lion’s head and Chinese characters that symbolize a traditional Chinese blessing.
Color photograph of a restaurant display in Hong Kong. In the foreground of the portrait-oriented photo, at the bottom right, a person is standing with their back to the camera, looking at the restaurant window. They are wearing a T-shirt with the word "Michelin" on it. White and brown cardboard boxes are on the floor. Through the window, two people can be seen working in the kitchen. Hong Kong geese (Siu Ngoh) are hanging in the display.
Color photograph of a Hong Kong skyscraper with part of a double-decker tram. The upper half of the portrait-oriented image shows the upper deck of a red double-decker tram. The windows are open, and three people are visible. Below the window, the word "Nintendo" is legible. Behind the tram rises a high-rise building, which is covered in scaffolding in the bamboo-style construction typical of Hong Kong.
Color photograph of a street scene in Hong Kong. The photo was taken from the upper deck of a double-decker bus. In front of the bus is a taxi waiting at the crosswalk for the traffic light to turn green. A person is crossing the crosswalk from left to right through the frame. The intersection behind it is almost free of cars. The red traffic light is prominently visible in the picture. Below it, across the intersection, another bus and a few cars can be seen on the street in front of the high-rises.
Color photograph of a street scene in Hong Kong. It shows three people from behind, standing or walking in front of the street. The person in the middle is looking for something in their bag, the person on the right is walking away with the bag slung over their shoulder, and the person on the left is waiting with their arms crossed. On the other side of the street, one of the typical double-decker trams is passing through the frame. Behind it are double-decker buses, and a large iPhone advertisement can be seen at the top right of the frame.
A color photograph of a street scene in Hong Kong. In the foreground, relatively centered, a man walks across the sidewalk with his head bowed. On the left, a construction barrier extends into the frame. Behind the man, neon signs and storefronts line the street. In my opinion, the image captures a contrast between the man’s stillness and the hustle and bustle of the city.
Color photograph of two rooms at the Kunstmuseum Basel. In the center of the image is a wooden doorframe that offers a view into the rear of the two rooms. In this room, a bench covered with gray fabric and a painting—whose scene cannot be described due to the blurriness—can be seen out of focus. In the front room, to the left and right of the doorframe, two portrait paintings are visible. The walls are painted green, which, together with the parquet floor, creates a scene in warm tones.
A color photograph of a seated person at the Kunstmuseum Basel. The person is sitting in front of a pleated curtain through which sunlight streams, bathing the curtain in yellow light. Because the person is sitting in backlight, they are visible only as a shadow. Below the curtain and behind the seated person, a green-painted wall is visible.
Color photograph of a hallway in the Kunstmuseum Basel. The image shows six wooden doorways that gradually become smaller, each with a small vertical light above the center of the doorframe. The parquet floor is light brown and extends up the walls in tall wooden strips. The walls themselves are lilac in color. Two people can be faintly made out in the last doorframe. A still life in the first room is also slightly out of focus.
Color photograph of an exhibition space at M+ in Hong Kong. The image shows the silhouettes of people standing in front of an LED screen that spans the entire width of the room, on which a film by Shiro Takatani is being shown as part of Ryuichi Sakamoto’s exhibition. At the time the photograph was taken, the film displayed horizontal lines in ochre, white, and orange.
A color photograph of a nighttime street scene in Hong Kong on Hong Kong Island. The image shows two Hong Kong taxis in the classic red-and-white-roofed color scheme driving across the frame from the left, crossing a yellow crosswalk. The image is blurry; in the background, you can see—also blurry—the facade of a shopping center.
Color photograph of a street scene in Kowloon, Hong Kong. At the lower left edge of the image, a man stands on the sidewalk, leaning against a railing, and looks down the street toward the intersection, which is still partially visible at the right edge of the image and across which two people are walking. His gaze follows a construction site with red-and-white road barriers equipped with orange warning lights. Across the street from the intersection stands a building whose striking facade stretches across the entire image from left to right in the form of colorful, semicircular stripes. Directly above the entrance is a yellow semicircle with red lettering.
Color photograph taken from the Art Sonje Center overlooking the outskirts of Bukchon Hanok Village in Seoul. The photo shows a section of Yulgok-ro 3-gil where several people are walking. You can see the typical, curved roofs of the hanok houses. A few people are sitting in front of one of these houses. To the left, at the intersection with Bukchon-ro 5-gil, stands a taller, more modern building whose colors blend seamlessly with those of the hanoks and which houses a “Tamburins.”
Color photograph of a performance scene at the Seo-Seoul Museum of Art in Seoul. In the foreground, starting from the bottom right, a staircase extends along a wall reflecting the evening sun toward the center of the image. At the top of the staircase, on the platform, stands a man. A large wooden cross leans against the stair railing in front of him. In the background, apartment buildings rise up into the slightly cloudy, almost milky sky.
A color photograph of a roof at Changdeokgung Palace, which juts into the frame from the right against the blue sky. So-called japsangs are lined up on the roof. Japsang are comprised of different animals – dragon, phoenix, lion, giraffe, sea horse, haetae (a mythical unicorn lion), and monkey – that are considered sacred and become guardians to the building.
Color photograph of the facade of the Horim Art Center and the White Cube Gallery in Gangnam-nu, Seoul. The facade is made of ceramic and rises in various shades of brown and curved lines toward a turquoise-blue sky.
Color photograph of stacked green boxes and two yellow bottle crates stacked upside down on a dark green bottle crate (also upside down). The boxes and crates are in front of a CU, a widely popular supermarket chain in Seoul. A small play of shadows can be seen on the bottle crates. The wall in the background is light green and covered with two posters stuck one on top of the other.
Color photograph of an electrical distribution box or power pole in Seoul. The photo, taken from below and centered on the scene, shows the typical tangle of power cables that are visible almost everywhere in Seoul, since the power lines are laid above ground rather than buried in the ground or inside walls. Behind the power distribution box, a row of buildings is visible, with the turquoise-blue sky reflected in their windows—the same sky that can also be seen in the background in the upper half of the photo.
Color photograph of a Hanok in Seoul that has been expanded with modern architectural elements. A Hanok is a traditional house dating from the early 20th century. Classically, it is a single-story, wooden structure with a sloped tiled roof. In this case, a floor made of exposed concrete with a large window front appears to float above the Hanok. Several flower pots can be seen in front of the house. A small red gate is visible at the lower right edge, providing the only striking splash of color.
Color photograph of the interior of a public bus in Seoul. You can see grab handles hanging from the yellow handrails in bright colors. The focus is on a red grab handle; due to the wide aperture, the green handhold in the foreground, as well as the blue, yellow, another green, and a second red handhold on the handrail are all slightly blurred.
Color photograph of a bustling street in Hongdae, Seoul. The picture shows two women posing while recording a video of themselves. The woman on the left is wearing a bright red outfit; the woman on her right—as seen by the viewer—is wearing a striped outfit in earth tones with black knee-high socks. Behind them, young people are walking up and across the street. The power lines typical of Seoul are also visible in the background.
A color photograph of a bed in a hotel room on Hong Kong Island, with a view of the bay from the window. It is the first frame of the film roll and, as a result, has a light leak that extends from the top down to almost the middle of the image. The image is rendered in warm yellow tones. You can see part of the bed, pillows, a curtain, and, to the left of the curtain, the skyscrapers of Hong Kong Island’s bay visible through the window.
A color photograph of an iced coffee in a glass. In the background, out of focus, you can see the barista at work. The glass is resting on a coaster; the coffee at the bottom of the glass is dark brown, the ice cubes fill more than half the glass, and you can clearly see the color gradient fading to a light brown. The entire image has a warm brown tone.
A color photograph that captures the morning sun’s rays as they stream through a broken tree branch lying on the ground from the left and into the camera lens. The image glows with shades of green and gold, created by the meadow, the branch, and the morning sun.
Color photograph of a stone balustrade, photographed from slightly below, running horizontally from left to right across the image. It is covered with a thin layer of snow. Behind it stands a tree covered in ice crystals. The image is rendered in cool blues; the photo was taken on a cold December day, shortly before the sun broke through the fog.
Color photograph of the Mürtschenstock. Taken from Amden, the lower part of the picture shows houses in Amden in the foreground. Behind them lies the blanket of fog over Lake Walen, above which rises the summit of the Mürtschenstock.
Color photograph of a tree covered in ice crystals. It stands in front of Einsiedeln Abbey. The sun is behind the tree, slowly breaking through the thick fog. The image is rendered in cool blue tones.
Color photograph of Hollandstraße in Vienna's 2nd district, taken on a foggy November morning in 2025. On the left is the facade of a building with the light box of Salzi, a restaurant, and round lights also attached to the facade. On the right, the street stretches towards the Danube Canal, where the red traffic lights and brake lights of cars pierce the darkness. The houses on the opposite side of the Danube Canal are shrouded in fog and only partially visible. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
Color photograph of a straight dirt path in Vienna’s Augarten. It stretches into the distance, covered with fallen autumn leaves. A dense, neatly trimmed hedge fills the right side of the image, its leaves turning brown and gold. On the left, bare trees line the path with benches beneath them. In the background, partially obscured by trees, a Flak Tower rises above the park. The sky above is pale blue with light clouds, and the overall scene feels quiet and seasonal.
Color photograph of two greenhouses at Augarten in Vienna. The photo was taken in the early hours of the morning. The sky is still dark at dawn, and a warm light shines from the glass greenhouse on the right, bathing the entire image in warm tones.
Black-and-white photograph of the sign “Please hold on.” Taken in a Vienna tram. Although the background of the sign is smooth, it appears wavy due to the strong shadows.
Color photograph of the Hercules statue on Michaelerplatz in Vienna. The sculpture depicts Hercules slaying the Lernaean Hydra. It was created in 1893 by Edmund Hofmann von Aspernburg and is bathed in the morning light of Vienna.
Color photograph of the cloudy sky over Vienna. The photo is taken in landscape format, with the top part of a classic Viennese street lamp visible at the bottom left. The lamps hang from two arches that extend from the central lamppost on the right and left. The lantern stands in the foreground of a heavily cloudy sky, which gives the photograph a deep structure.
Color photograph of a traffic mirror decorated with a chain of snail shells. The mirror is photographed from behind, with the snail shell chain draped around its mounting.
“Nature's calling.” Color photograph of two public telephone booths entwined with plants. The telephone on the left is completely black on a steel plate against a yellow background. The telephone on the right is silver with a red receiver against a yellow background. Both booths are open at the front. The plants grow from the back to the front and into the booths.
Color photograph of a vegetable stand in a supermarket, taken from outside through the window. Behind a few slight reflections, green and red-yellow apples can be seen in the foreground, then pears, grapes, and in the background, bananas in their compartments with price tags.
Color photograph of the facade of the LUMA cultural complex in Arles. Designed by Frank Gehry, the building rises monumentally above the old town of Arles. The angle from below shows the glass facade in the foreground, which merges into the irregular, 56-meter-high tower that stretches into the gray, almost yellowish sky.
Color photograph of an attic window in the Palais Carli in Marseille. Through the window, you can see the roofs of the surrounding houses. The window itself is old and dirty. The window frame is almost completely black due to the strong contrast, and below the window, the white surface of the radiator stands out with its striking shape.
Color photograph of facade elements of the Frac Sud in Marseille. The building was designed by Kengo Kuma, and the photo was taken from the terrace. From the architect's website: Enamel glass was used to cover the facade with shapes that look like a collection of particles in order to create a soft appearance. The enamel glass panels are all mounted at a slightly different angle, dispersing the strong light of the Mediterranean into fine particles. Le Corbusier attempted to solve the problem of light with Brise soleil by deflecting sunlight, but we attempted to solve this problem by using particles (panels). Creating an ‘art museum without walls’ is an idea that was proposed by André Malraux in 1947, and we attempted to add to this concept by using an ‘ambiguous façade’."

Color photograph taken in Le Corbusier's Cité Radieuse in Marseille. In the foreground, a close-up of a curved metal bracket mounted on the wall is clearly visible. Behind it, a long interior corridor stretches into the distance, slightly out of focus. The corridor has large windows on the right side through which warm light enters, a tiled floor with small colored dots, and a row of white chairs along the wall. Further back in the hallway stands a person who is partially out of focus. The overall color tone is warm, with brown and orange tones and soft shadows. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
Color photograph of the front view of the Cité Radieuse, the apartment block in Marseille designed by Le Corbusier. A woman walks toward the building, her hands on her hips. Above her, the balconies with their colorful accents in green, yellow, blue, red, and white can be seen.
Color photograph of yellow mailboxes in the hallway of the Cité Radieuse, the apartment building designed by Le Corbusier in Marseille. The mailboxes appear to float and are illuminated from above by a beautiful light. Above the mailboxes, there is also a sign for the emergency exit (Sortie de secours), illuminated in green.
Color photograph of the Cathédrale Sainte-Marie-Majeure de Marseille. In front of the neo-Romanesque-Byzantine church, several people are standing, either on their way into the church or taking photographs of it. The church façade, made of alternating light and dark stone, is surrounded by a deep blue sky.
Color photograph of Norman Foster's L'Ombrière at the old port of Marseille. People in colorful clothes can be seen walking around in the reflective surface of the pavilion ceiling. This reflection takes up the upper two-thirds of the image. The blue sky can be seen in the lower third, which is separated from the top by a slight diagonal line.
Color photograph taken on the terrace of the Mucem - Musée des civilisations de l’Europe et de la Méditerranée. The terrace is enclosed by a net-like concrete structure that casts a playful shadow on the wooden floor. A woman walks toward the lens with her gaze lowered and a sun hat covering her face. The Tour du Fanal can be seen in the background. This tower, built in 1644, served as a guide tower at the harbor and guided ships safely in. The tower and the mesh concrete are surrounded by a blue, cloudless sky. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
Color photograph of a round traffic mirror framed in yellow, standing in front of a few green trees. In the mirror, you can see the photographer holding the camera in one hand and a dog leash in the other. Unfortunately, the dog is not visible. Behind the photographer in the mirror image, you can see residential buildings and a parked car on the left.
Color photograph of the bright moon over the Adriatic Sea - photographed from Volosko, Opatija. In the foreground, several rocks extend into the water from the right, and the light reflected by the moon creates a bright strip on the dark water. Towards the horizon, a container ship is anchored off the Istrian coast.
Color photograph of a car side mirror taken from the passenger seat in a moving car. Clouds, the camera, and the two hands holding it are reflected in the mirror. Around the side mirror, the movement of the car causes the roadside guardrail, some sea, and coastline to appear blurred.
Color photograph of the Adriatic Sea with a view of the island of Cres, taken from a bathing spot between Ika and Ičići. Although taken in the morning, the light is already very bright. The small rocks in the foreground glow bright gold, and the sky ranges from turquois to almost white on the horizon. Two small boats float in the water.
Color photo of the Adriatic Sea with a view of the island of Cres, taken from a swimming spot between Ika and Icici. Although it was taken in the morning, the light is already very bright. The sky takes up almost two-thirds of the image, ranging from blue to almost white on the horizon. A small boat floats in the water. A bird flies into the picture from the left.

Color photograph of the Adriatic Sea with the island of Cres, taken from a viewpoint above the forests surrounding Kastav. The treetops of the green forest fill the lower part of the image. Above a narrow strip of sea and island elevation, a hazy sky with a few scattered clouds extends across most of the photograph.
Color photograph of the Adriatic Sea and Croatian islands, taken from Vojak, the highest peak in Istria and the Učka Mountains. In the foreground, densely wooded hills can be seen stretching toward the horizon in lower hills and eventually merging with the sea. The sky swallows the hills on the horizon because it was so hazy.
Color photograph of the Adriatic Sea, taken from Vojak, the highest peak in the Učka Mountains and in all of Istria at 1,401 meters above sea level. The image is rendered in light blue tones, with green treetops visible at the bottom, the Croatian coast in the background, the Adriatic Sea in between, and a pair of bright, shimmering clouds with tendrils stretching horizontally across the entire image above.
