thank you! walking with a proper camera is great, but that's not the main point for me. it's about spending time in nature and sharing a bit of that experience with others through the blog. point and shoot is fun too, low res as well :)

Yee, I checked it out, you're right, the "button" is threaded. Thanks for the heads up, I'll look into it :)

The notebook idea is neat. I was also thinking about maybe noting down the aperture and shutter speed for every photo, since there's obviosly no exif data, but I'm kind of a minimalist with this stuff. If the process isn't automated, it's not a huge deal - I'd rather stay present, in the moment, than carry around and pull out a notebook everytime I take a photo.

For exposure, what I did was use an app to roughly measure the shutter speed range when exposing for the shadows in the current weather, just so I have some data to work with later in lightroom. Then I just set an aperture I want and adjust the shutter speed if needed. It's actually pretty similar to how I shoot with my sony a6400, just without all the digital feedback and numbers on the screen. Which is nice, honestly :)

My camera has a built in light meter too, but I dont have a battery for it.

Yeah, I think home development is a step you take once you know you're going to shoot film regularly, especially on a modest budget. If I had the money I'd probably do it just for the experience, but for now I chose the hobo route, haha. Cheapest color film > small local mom and pop photo lab (might honestly be the last one around here) > scanning and editing at home.

You have canon a1? That's from around the same production period as my zenit.

I paid around 14 usd for a roll, but development was only 5 usd.

Thanks a lot for the message and kind words, I really appreciate it 🙏

Heh, if I went totally blind it would be the same for sure, but I did a bit of research beforehand, and dad told me some of the camera's quirks

Hah, thank you so much for the nice comment ❤️

Thank you!

Hey, thank you very much!

Sure I did, haha. Thank you <3

Thank you! On a sunny, calm day like this, the sky looks beautiful from all different perspectives.

Thank you for the comment, that's a good question.

Title is vague on purpose, as I personally enjoy finding my own interpretations in other people's work, and I wanted to leave that space open as well.

Initially, I was drawn to the symmetry and quietness of these spaces and moments. But for me, these places felt lived in and purposeful in the past. On a quiet, empty day, there's a sense of ghosts, echoes of former activity.

I thank you for checking it out!

Thank you for the comment, I appreciate that :)
