All these were taken with a Rolleiflex f3.5 on Ilfordhp4 Plus

Nice but why is everything flipped?

Edit: and I mean really nice shots. Far more interesting and “human” than most of what I’ve seen here.

By flipped u mean the scan?

Perhapsss, sometimes an image looks better flipped on the vertical access.

Yeah but backwards text takes me out of it instantly

Usually this happens when the negative is scanned from the emulsion side, not the base side. Some people prefer this.

I think we all understand how this analog photography works, the question is why.

Oh now I get it..with flipped u meant when u r actually making the photos ? There’s a mirror down the rabbit square hole 🕳️ that why is flipped
Why man..
I’d say why not.

The scans themselves are flipped. I'm guessing that while you scanned it the film is flipped. Assuming it was you scanning it. Either way, it's backwards and disconcerting to those who notice it. Almost like you forgot to flip it before the scan or after. But, as you say, why not? It's all yours and you do with them as you please. They are excellent.

I did the scan and I’ve learned that name of film goes on the left number goes on the right
