Lyrical digression about the tests of equipment

Why am I bored doing the brick wall test?

ethnographic genre portrait in the travel I usually shoot on 135 film. And praise Eastman - it is the format of 35mm perforated cine-film that gives the necessary "warm-up with the approach" in street photography or Genre. No need to think how much is left out of 8 or 10 or 12 frames.. 36 is a lot, especially if you're greedy. And this is enough if you are greedy for impressions.

 

I always test cameras before the trip and often in my film there are random portraits, not always meaningful. Here is one more

 

For test here a companion for my next trip - here budget is $50 only - for a camera + lens.

The task of the test is a lyrical picture without a budget for equipment. A small camera that does not attract attention. Does not create dangerous situations during travel. And there will be no collapse of the world in case of loss of the camera.

 

probably Eastman Kodak cine film 250iso ( rewind for cassette of fujifilm )
