Kiev 4 experiment – Part II

Learnt a lot from my previous mistakes with the Kiev 4 vintage camera, I gave it another try. Special thanks to an awesome guy on YouTube. 2 locations this time, Hackney (London) and Matlock (Peak District). Continue reading for my selection.

HACKNEY

My lovely friend, J. lives in and knows a lot about East London. So I asked her to be my guide for a day and she happily accepted my (unusual) request. [Of course, she did, I’ve never met anybody with such a positive attitude like her.] So we met at Liverpool Street Station, around noon. After grabbing a huge falafel wrap in Bell Street, we started our walk towards Shoreditch. Saw some of the ever-changing street arts, a city farm, a park with a huge wildflower field, lots of weirdos, ruins and fancy pubs. Walked along the canals, blablabla, here are some pictures (going to upload the ones taken with the digital cam later):

My awesome guide with some awesome art. 🙂

A tiny rural oasis in the middle of Central London.

Summer in the city (farm).

Jasmin and the bee in the secret garden of the city farm.

I see faces everywhere. So does this mysterious artist. Bokeh porn!

This photo could have been taken even half a decade ago.

Could it be more Londonish?

Just a random canal scene in East London.

Nice oriental landscape at Victoria Park.

MATLOCK

Still had a few pictures to shoot on the filmroll and really wanted to try what the camera and the ISO400 Fuji film can do with nature.

Abandoned mills and nature. Perfection!

Accidentally rotated picture of a waterfall. But it's been a cool trend recently.

Very convincing results, I think I should carry on working with this camera! What do you think? 🙂
