“Adopt, don't buy!„
DescriptionIn the Athens' Centre, a graffiti relays a very convincing message about opting to adopt stray kittens, instead of buying expensive, pure-bred ones. In Greece, there never has been a shortage of stray animals, as you surely will have noticed if you've ever visited.
The photo was shot with the Helios-44-2 lens, wide open at 𝑓2.0, as evident by the intense blur on the background, turned out pretty nice in my opinion.

“Double Exposure„
DescriptionEven if I tried, I could not get a photo like this. I must've accidentally cocked the advance lever on my Canon about 70-percent of the way. The resulting mixture of the two photos, one on the right and one on the left is my favourite photo I have ever taken. I love both "ingredients" in it of themselves. Together, they mesh beautifully.

“Dreamy Night Out„
DescriptionUnder the low lighting of the bar we were in, inside a dark alleyway, the atmosphere is impeccable. When you are shooting a 800 ISO film however, you might need to drop the shutter speed to a ridiculous 1/15 of a second though. And that is with a wide open 𝑓2.0, 58mm lens.
This slow shutter speed might make a lot of photos blurry, but when clicking at the right time and with a bit of luck, you might get some interesting, Lynchian results like this one.
