Fent l'aleta / To the top
Foto presa amb una Berning Robot II, fabricada cap al 1946-1948; Schneider-Kreutznach Xenar f2.8 / 37mm; Fomapan 100.
Diada castellera durant la festa major de Sabadell.
La rapidesa de la Robot II va ser util per captar just aquest moment. Prou divertit amb una càmera purament mecànica dels anys 40 del s. XX.

Picture taken with a Berning Robot II, made c.1946-1948; Schneider Kreutznach Xenar f2.8 / 37mm; Fomapan 100.
Castellers, Catalan human towers, during my hometown, Sabadell, major festival (festa major), each first weekend of september.
"Fer l'aleta" is the term used for topping the tower, which is done by the enxaneta, the child going to the top and raising his/her hand. It's usually done very fast, to begin the "disassembly" (descarregar) the tower as fast as possible to reduce the chance to it going down.
The fast shooting of the Robot II helped me in this. Quite nice for a 40's purely mechanical camera.
