Carnival Sunday

Pictures taken on Carnival Sunday with a Zeiss Ikon Box Tengor 54 that takes photos in 6x4.5 cm on roll film. It’s very compact and relatively advanced for a box camera: like most, it has only one shutter speed but one can choose between two aperture stops: f/11 and f/22 and it even has a built-in portrait/closeup lens for subjects that are between 1 and 3 meters away. Some of the shots are quite blurry, because I took them in bulb mode and then fired a flash, but it sometimes was too bright for the flash to have any effect. I still like how they came out, the blurriness feels like a good representation of the drunken mood of the weekend.
