Artist's Comments

From May till November 2007 i had to serve the Austrian Army (mandatory service).

It was on one of my last days as a soldier. I had the unique chance to fly with a helicopter over Vienna. We launched right in the middle of the city and took a round flight above the inner city.

The shot itself was tricky to expose (outside f5.6 1/1000th and inside f2.8 1/125th so 5 steps difference). I chose 5.6 and 250th.
To print i needed to cut an extra stencil to burn the area of the window showing the view outside.

Taken with a Leica M6 Rangefinder camera (90's) and a 35mm f2.0 Summicron (60's) Leitz lens attached.

Exposed on Kodak 400TX, developed in Kodak Xtol (1:1).

Handmade darkroom print on Agfa MC glossy FB (fiber based) Paper. Size 12x16in.



All you see is analogue.


Print avaiable in various sizes, signed and numbered.

ps: ignore the exif, it's the camera i used to digitalize the print

Suggester says: "It is nice to see some traditional (analogue) photography, particularly when the artis is as skilled at his craft as *coxi. This view from a helicopter truly enchanted me, and the skill with which he brought out the outside world is fantastic!" above vindobona by *coxi

love it!
cant believe its with an analog. youre really good!
:iconflowkradd:
i like the picture within a picture, it works really well even though i usually despise things blown out there is enough detail to make the outside an interesting aspect instead of a distraction. Sounds like a bitch to expose.

impressive work in a tough situation.
:iconmiss-maple:

how long was the burn in relation to your regular exposure when printing it? Nice work.

i think 20 seconds exposure on grad 4 in the shadow area and another 40 seconds on the highlight area with grad 0
:iconcoxi:
cheers to that !
:iconseenew:
grad 4 and grad 0, meaning contrast filters?
