Street Photography with Yashica Minitec AF

Good day street photographers! Today I'm sharing my new set of street photographs made with a Yashica Minitec AF, point-&-shoot camera, which I have had covered in my last couple of blog posts. This is my second roll on Kodak UltraMax 400. As usual, I'm not showing all 36 photos but only the best ones. So without much ado, let's make the jump.

Affinity for 35mm Point-&-Shoot Cameras

 

In today's blog I want to share my thoughts about 35mm compact film cameras. A few months ago, with no particular reasons whatsoever, I have formed a strong affinity for 35mm compact point-&-shoot film cameras. It's not that I had never used point-&-shoot cameras before. In fact I do already owned two and they are Vivitar PN2011 and Horizon Perfekt panorama swing lens camera. If you're interested to find out the photos I made with these 2 cameras, simply do a search on the top left corner of this blog site.
Well it seems I have "poisoned" myself with G.A.S. aka Gear Acquisition Syndrome. In case some of you do not know what G.A.S. is all about, here's a simple definition.

Street Photography with a 35mm Film Camera


On 30th July I bought a rather cheap 35mm compact film camera off Carousel for SGD$30. It's a Yashica Minitec AF. A point and shoot camera. Well, I got it away with the price because the built-in flashlight isn't working. I'm not doing any camera review on this blog. Anyway it's an enjoyable camera to shoot with on the streets.

Street Panorama – Weekend Shopping No. 3

Weekend Shopping No. 3
© 2013 Martin Liew Photography

Here I was at the same spot outside Mustafa Shopping Center, facing the road junction of Syed Alwi Road and Verdun Road. With the camera all preset, I kept on waiting for any interesting character to come by, and yes this African fellow walked right into the street scene. I had spotted him on the other side of the junction. He was on his cell phone as he crossed the road and halted right in front of me. I lifted my camera to my face, looking through the viewfinder. Then I saw an Indian man walking by heading to my left, also on his cell phone.

I anticipated as I got the composition right and was ready to press the shutter release button when all are in position. This is the fun part of street photography where we have to anticipate based on our close observation and knowledge of body language.
