Catching light
I haven't updated for a loooong time, mainly because I'm virtually living in deviantArt. I join a pretty awesome club there called The Yard Collective, focusing mainly in Industrial and Street photography. It has all the classic stuff about dA clubs: polls, contests, features from the admins, best photo of the month, etc. Another great thing about it is the admins, who are one of the greatest people I have met in dA. Seriously, if you are new in dA and street/industrial photography are you thing, please drop by and take a look.
I have been using both of my film cameras without any problem now, specially the Nikon S2. Is a wonderful tool for street photography! You can compose, focus and shoot quickly, without any hassles, and almost with no shutter noise at all. Its viewfinder, not as bright as the Leicas have, is bright and uncluttered; a plus for me because I won't be planning to use another lens rather than my Nikkor 50mm/f1.4 (also because I can't afford another one). Too bad this camera has no metering system, so I'm roughly estimating all my shots. On first roll I shot with it I got several underexposed frames because of wrong exposure estimation. Then I (luckily) learn that is better to overexpose than underexpose, so I'm shooting the current film taking this into consideration.
