This week in the holidays I’ll be revisiting popular and favourite posts as part of {re-lime rewind}. Hope you enjoy this trip down memory lane.
Today is {top 5 tuesday} and what do you know, I couldn’t pick just one. And the cameras, there are already two more members to join the crew below!
Because it’s Tuesday. Because I have been carrying a lot of cameras around this week. Because I got a new treasure off ebay the other week.
Today I thought I would share my top 5 cameras today, as in the ones being used at the moment. I often throw one or two of these in my bag when I’m not taking all my gear, and naturally my iPhone is with me all the time.
From top left-hand corner:
- The sweet Diana mini. You might already recognise her. A toy film camera that goes anywhere.
- Polaroid One 600. An eBay find that I’ve had for a little while now. Is in fantastic working condition so is my go-to instant camera at the moment.
- Canon film SLR. Two-fold – in my camera bag and is locked and loaded. And also represents the Canon DSLR I’m currently using to take the photo. I’ve had this film one since my uni days when I was studying photojournalism, in a darkroom. Those were the days.
- iPhone. The ultimate go anywhere camera. Currently in high rotation has a I attempt to hone my iPhonegraphy skills.
- Yashica Minister. My latest eBay buy. A fully manual film camera which has the loveliest feel. Not sure about the focus and rangefinder but presently shooting a first roll of film in it to see how it goes.
I love how each of these cameras all produce something different, sometimes surprising, sometimes disappointing. I find using the different mediums also really inspiring.
Can you have too many cameras? I don’t think so.
