Buying fish, Helsinki |
When I went to Helsinki in Finland to cover an industrial
exhibition I had a morning to spare so a Finnish jounalist offered to
show me round the morning market at the harbour, I took my Zorki loaded
with what was them the new Ilford film FP4 and we got there about 10 am.
We wandered round the stalls for a while, and then I saw this small boat
pull in with a woman selling fish from one of the larger boats fresh from
that morning's catch. I prefocused on the woman in the boat and waited
a few minutes until this housewife went down the steps to buy. I rated
the FP4 at 200 ASA and took a reading from the stone steps with a Leningrad
4 meter. |
