This film street photo was taken through a window of some cafeteria in Venice. It was raining all the time, so we decided to stop for a coffee, and I had a chance to shoot some photos while drinking coffe.
I had just a moment to take this photo and it is not easy when you take street photography on film, especially with a manual focus lens. After this lady turned her head towards me and noticed me taking a picture she smiled, which would ruin this frame for me.
Did you just take a photo of me? asked the lady in the window. Yeap, sure, why not. I had just a second to capture this one, before she changed her face to smile, so it’s slightly out of focus. Did I mention I use only manual focus fix lenses in my ever film street photo?
Film street photo is not an easy task, especially when you use only manual focus lenses and you have only seconds to take a shot. That dog from el Medano, Tenerife, january 2023.
