In October 2025 my friend Sammy and I made a trip to Berlin.
We came from Prague by train, and headed back to Prague by train, before flying home.
The Berlin train station is quite majestic...
This blog post is - as you may have noticed - about panoramic film photos of Berlin!
People line up to take photos at Checkpoint Charlie.
In this post I use three types of film:
- Flic Film Aurora 800 (colour)
- Kodak Tri-X 400 (black and white)
- Lomography Lomochrome Metropolis 400 (colour)
Tri-X and Metropolis films have their names marked on the upper edge of the film.
Aurora 800 doesn't show any name on the film edges or borders.
You haven't really seen Berlin until you see a Trabant car there!
A curious double exposure mixing elements of Berlin Central Station with a parking lot of Trabants.
Definitely take time to explore the Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg neighbourhoods while in Berlin (see the scrolling images below).
The Eastside Gallery, which features a section of the Berlin Wall painted by mural artists from around the world, is another site worth visiting (see the scrolling images below).
I captured a number of street scenes throughout Berlin with Lomography's Metropolis XR film (see the scrolling images below).
At the end of our stay, we returned to Berlin Central Station and said goodbye to this amazing city.
If you have the chance to visit Berlin, take it! It is an incredible city full of life and culture.
When planning your trip, the Visit Berlin website is a great place to start. There are so many helpful resources there.
If you love film photography, be sure to see my Bikes of Berlin blog post, where I list some of my favourite film photo stores and photography related spots!
Thanks for looking!
