AP Hours: Film Camera, Sunset & me

As a human being, it is normal to have stress. We have our own style to relieve stress. Some found it in a bad way like going to a night club and taking drugs. But for me, I found taking picture without being judged by anyone is a very good way to relieve stress.

Shooting a beatiful sunset alone let me work with my own style. I became calm almost instant after viewing the beautiful scenery.

I really enjoy my time when shooting sunset using my film camera. My first SLR, Ricoh KR10S taught me so much because it is a manual focus camera. It really hard to understand at first but when you get used to it, it is easy as 1 2 3.

So in early 2012 I took my Ricoh KR10S and go to Binsulok. I found a really nice spot to shoot sunset. I load my camera with Agfa Vista 200, put it on a tripod and wait for a right time to shoot. So, after I send the film to laboratory to be developed, I was stunned by the result. With no filter on my lens, I get a really deep orange and blue colour of the sky.

My second SLR is Canon Elan 7e. This auto focus camera are really reliable. Fast auto focus let me shoot the moment that I really want to shoot.
