Stealth Hip Shot

Ryan

Yesterday after reading a thread about what type of camera to use for stealth type street photography and because I had half a roll of ISO 800 colour film languishing in my Canonet GIII rangefinder I decided to try it out as a from the hip street camera.

Because it was a cloudy day and the Canonet is shutter priority, the high ISO is useful in keeping up the DOF when zone focusing. The giii is reasonably small and has a quiet shutter so getting close into the action is no problem, I definitely need more practise pointing the camera and the high ISO colour is ugly (next time black and white). But the camera is definitely useful for close up street photography.
