In a previous post I've talked about what I like about this wonderful city Berlin is :
but what I prefer when discovering new cities is looking at it through the lenses or screen of my several cameras (and it costs me everytime back pain as I carry a very large and heavy bag open on one side to be able to unsheathe whenever it's necessary) . Often my relatives warn me to live the moment instead of trying to make a good picture of it.
I think they are right.
This series of photographs illustrates my point: it mixes blackberry pics, holga, Canon EOS 20D and a berlin security screen...and the best camera ever invented still is the disposable camera.I think they are right.
Time for a TOP 5 Camera
1) The Disposable Camera
If you succeed taking a good picture with it, you can take any camera you want ! you've got the best instrument to become a photographer: the good eye. In addition, the fact that one does no longer uses reffer it at past time with all the charm that goes with it.
2) Holga Camera
Classic and (too) trendy but I always had one and I feel like I'm playing lego when I use it. The only big inconvenient: the plastic is a fragile and it opens all the time so my advice is to put medical straps. It doesn't damage the camera and it maintains well.
3) Gadget Cameras
Gadget cameras: When I was in high school, one of my friend had a watch taking pictures. It's pretty cool if you don't want to carry a real cam and for forbidden places. It's clearly James Bond Style.
4) GoPro CameraProbably the greatest invention of the year 2011. A tiny camera with a big angle sold with a lot of detached pieces like the hermetic cover. The first aim of it is extrem sport as it is very resistant. I'll soon post some of the first videos and pictures I made with it.
5) Canon EOS 20D
I know it's an old camera now but I have a deep attachment to it. At eleven years old, my parents offered be the 20D the film version and I sold it a 17years old to buy the digital version. (It was my own present for having passed the baccalaureat with the honors) I regret having sold the film one but I will keep the digital forever. Even if it looks a little aged compare to what is done in digital, mine is really at the frontier and used very little digital keeping the film quality. My fetish.
owe and #6: my blackberry, it will look old some very soon days
