early nights in london
It gets dark too early these days. Dark and rainy. Two things a street photography enthusiast doesn't want to hear. Luckily I have the Olympus 35 RD with it's f1.7 lens.
As I don't carry a tripod, I often look out for a good surface I can prop the camera on for a steady shot. That way I can take advantage of it's 1 or 2 minute [or even Bulb] shutter speed setting, approaching long exposure, but not quite :)
I also have one of these shutter release buttons screwed on. It really reduces the shutter blur and gives up to one or two stops. This was a 200 speed film I used here.
Oh, and I don't care if it gets a little wet. No chips to blow up in there. I don't get carried away though, moisture does damage metal, and film.
