Nice shots! For the bridge photo, it looks like you used a tripod with remote shutter release.
Thank you!
I don't have a tripod, it's on the list to buy
I made this picture by simply pressing the camera to the embankment stone and holding the button for several seconds on "B"... Kodak Gold 400, aperture 2, focus on infinity... Frankly speaking I didn't expect that it will be OK, but both shots I made with different exposure were good. The second one is "shaken" a little, but it gives some charm... If I had a tripod and a remote shutter release I'd probably try to set small aperture and make a shot of the bridge opening in progress
It's nice that modern film forgives you big mistakes in exposure.
The most popular film in Soviet times was Svema 64 GOST/ISO units. Only 35 kopeykas if you bought in a roll and loaded it into a cassete yourself. It didn't forgive mistakes, but printing it using a magnifier always gave you some freedom to work with contrast (shadowing some parts by hands
)
