About the artist
Hello friends! My name is Alexander Strakhov. I am an endocrinologist from Sevastopol. At some point, I became interested in photography. It allows me to clear my mind. At first it was digital cameras, but then I realized that the more complicated it is, the more interesting it is for me, so now I take pictures more often with mechanical film cameras. I really like working with different films and getting unpredictable results. Every time you hear a new shutter sound, experience new tactile sensations from different cameras. I want to learn high-quality street photography and urban landscape. I will be glad for advice and constructive criticism in the comments.

Simferopol
Sometimes I have to travel from Sevastopol to Simferopol and back at night, usually night trains, on which I see off and meet relatives. The idea to remove the neon Cyberpunk of the Crimean gas stations has been maturing for a long time. There are as many as 4 of them, 2 on each side along the way. I thought in advance about which set to take it off. Well, the lens immediately decided - Voigtlander 58mm f1.4, which has a wide aperture that is quite working - this is one of my lightest lenses. With a carcass, I decided to take my Nikon FM3a for a good aperture priority mode (Nikon F would be more difficult to use at night, and there are no rabbit ears under its prism on Voigtlander), well, I ordered a film for this case a long time ago: Cinestill 800t with a washed-off soot layer.Basically, I got what I wanted. And what options do you like for night film photography?Constructive criticism is welcome🤗Camera: Nikon FM3a; Lens: Voigtlander Nokton 58mm f1.4 SLII; Film: Cinestill 800t

Sevastopol
Dear friends, this is the statue of St. Andrew on the embankment of the same name in Sevastopol. At the end of May, there was a storm with waves above 6 meters and the entire embankment was destroyed. But the monument to the saint remained intact. Camera: Kiev 2A; Lens: Jupiter-12 35mm f2.8; Film: Kodak Vision 2 250d
