In this age of digital cameras, I was somewhat bemused to see this chap taking a photo of the beach in the Old Market Square using a film camera.
But a special one at that, as I think it is a Rolleiflex. Not that I am an expert on cameras, just remember seeing them being used by the likes of David Bailey in films and documentaries etc from the 1960s.
I had thought about striking up a conversation with him and finding out more about his enjoyment of photography, but I didn't want to break his concentration, while he was composing his picture through the unique vertical viewfinder.
Dont see many old cameras being used, they are mostly on show in Photographers shop windows

Oooh I wish I had been there! I would have loved to have chatted to him. Looks an interesting guy and that camera. Well what can I say ' Fabulous'.
ReplyDeleteI once dropped one of them at Uni and it broke. It was a uni property but thankfully they didn't charge me for it. Nice picture.
