The white hat

Light measured with the built-in lightmeter of the Zenit E. It worked really well despite its age.

and having great fun with it! On our vacation on the isle of Gran

Canaria I only used my analog equipment and thought that I had to

try out the antique Zenit E of my sadly passed away Russian

grandfather.

I couldn't believe how much fun it is to use it and it worked very,

very well. On some photos I get the impression that it is not

perfectly sealed but I will fix that eventually.

 

For the shot: I just told my girlfriend to try out some of the hats

as she was searching one and when she put this one on I had to make

a photo! Measured the exposure time with the built-in lightmeter of

the Zenit (which is a photocell) and somehow the camera made the

photo look like I wanted it to look without intervention ;).

It is so much fun to work with these old mechanical cameras (I do

have an Exa 1b, too) that I think I will use them more frequently in

the future.

The film is also a miracle but a bit costly to work with. Scans

great, though!

 

Anyways, after having expressed my feelings I last but not least

want you to share your opinion to this photo!

 

Thanks very much for your time.
