I mentioned this bike in a previous post – I stumbled upon it at the top of the hill on 21st and Valencia during our last day in SF. Normally I don’t mix film and digital in posts, but I fired off rounds with all three cameras and thought it would be fun to show the results side-by-side. I’ve always enjoyed when Alice does this in her film vs. digital posts, so here’s my take:
On the D700
On the Rolleiflex
On the Diana+
Camera: Nikon D700
Lens: Nikkor 85mm f/1.8
Lens: Nikkor 85mm f/1.8
Camera: Rolleiflex 2.8C
Film: Fuji Reala 100 (thanks Diyosa!)
Camera: Diana+
Lens: Diana+ 75mm
Film: Rollei Retro 100

I want that bike . . . like, now! haha :)
love the feel to both the digital and film images!
I know. I wanted to steal it and smuggle it aboard the plane, haha. I was shocked to see a U-lock attached to the frame – I thought for sure this bike had sat in this same spot for ages, but I guess someone actually rides it. Cute.
Nice! It’s fun to see the mood shift with all the different cameras/films.
oooh love the film and digital comparison! thanks! such charm!
stunning, all of them
Favvoooriiiiite pooooost.
Seriously. I want to put a basket on this bike and put my camera and freshly picked flowers in it asap.
I thought a pale yellow Schwinn would be the dream bike, but oh, oh no. This one takes the cake.
ah, cool! i think in the film shots, the highlights are more subdued. man, amazing colors all around though.
i would love to bike but would probably get killed in this city within a minute of owning a bike. x_x
this is awesme
love the colours
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/simplystardust] It has a basket, albeit, a metal one. When I think of roses and bikes and rusty iron gates I definitely think wicker basket. Regarding colorful bikes, though… Let me just say, I have a red bike and a blue helmet. Yeah, didn’t really think that one out, always feelin’ like a goober when I go out on my bike. Hah. :)
Omg you use the word "goober". I call Pumpkin a "Goober" all time. My roomies used to tease me endlessly!
oh wow these are gorgeous!

Very beautiful!
(add me as a contact if you want :)
The colors are superb!
I love these! The diana one is my fave!
[...] first roll of Reala, in fact. The photo of Jess & Colby is just a few steps away from “the Bike,” and the last four were shot while dawdling in front of Tartine, minutes away from saying [...]
Such great photo!
awesome! I love the colors.
[...] really enjoyed the last time I did this – mixing three variations of the same scene, all shot with different cameras. Breaking rules [...]
