Subway of Ankara. My meter says 4 times more light is entering through the lens than it would in İstanbul with my default subway setting. Fits Melih Gökçek’s style very well: We have the best illuminated subway cars among all European capital cities

The Epson V700 film holders piss me off since my films tend to curl towards the emulsion side all the time. I finally attached 4 needles vertically on the 6 exposure strip holder so that they match the spaces between frames, keeping the negatives flat.
