Ok so I ditched my Panasonic Lumix and purchased a Nikon S9100 and can I just say Daido Moriyama uses this camera. Him along with Lewis Hines are my two biggest influences in photography.
Bought secondhand off ebay for £50, which is slightly more than I was hoping to spend.
Took it out for a test run today with some good results. The zoom is really good, not that I will be using it that much and at full zoom still maintains good resolution. Never really been into cameras. I hate it when people go on about fancy cameras. I get bored really quick. "I dont want to know about ya camera mate, I want to know about your pictures" My early pictures were nearly all taken with a disposable camera. SLR cameras are no good for Street Photography. My Minolta rangefinder and Olympus XA2 are really good for SP and not very expensive at all. The Minolta AL-f cost me £14 and the Olympus XA2 cost me £10. Film and developing costs mount up though and to shoot exclusively on film would be very expensive.
People say to me , I never knew you were into photography and the truth is I never was into photography. I just assumed photography was just about Fashion, Nature, Journalism and Beauty not just taking random pictures of people for my own curiosity. Well it turns out it is a photographic medium and I have only found this out recently hence why I have upped my game a bit and started taking candid pictures again.
Here are some of my early pictures with a disposable camera and my other camera's that I have been using recently.
