Hello
So I went out to take some photos last night.
Y'know it was good to get back out there because I haven't been out in quite some time.
I felt super rusty,
but I really like this image of the tyre place, or car garage whatever it was
that blue is just.. pffffffffffffffffff
Anyway, today is all about Almaty, I wanna show you the city, give you a sense of place,
it's not gunna be comprehensive, we're not gunna look at absolutely everything in one video
I'm gunna hit a few touristy places and then we're just gunna go round the city and do some photography
What I'm going to use is this, the Konica Lexio 115
This is a camera I bought a few months ago, haven't used it yet, haven't put a roll of film through it and developed it
So I'm excited to see how the images come out
It's a beautiful sunny day so I thought I'd use Kodak Gold 200
aaand see what the city has to offer
This is Acension Cathedral, which is also known as Zhenkov's Cathedral
It was completed in 1907, is 56 metres tall and is one of the tallest wooden structures in the world
and despite being built without a single nail has survived several earthquakes, including a bloody massive one in 1911
which destroyed many buildings in Almaty
yeah, so it's a pretty chill place, I recommend you come if you're ever in Almaty
Anyway, I think the best way to get around the city is definitely by e-scooter
Here we are in Republic Square and what you see in front of you is the Monument of Independence
standing at 91 feet tall and representing, of course, the independence of Kazakhstan from the Soviet Union
it's a very impressive monument
located opposite is the Presidential Residence, here, and that was one of the focal points for the January protests here in Almaty
but I just gotta say I was really vibin to this music..
but it's not as good as mine
woah woah woah woah woah
we gotta go back on that a minute
How many scooter is this guy drivi..
this guy is driving SEVEN scooters
at the same time
I hope you enjoyed watching that as much as I enjoyed making that
because like I said at the beginning I haven't been out for a long time with a camera, it's been a while, I felt rusty
but I got those creative juices flowing again, and actually this thing is amazing, this is a little beast
I'm really impressed with this point and shoot, it's absolutely quality
I wanna do a more detailed review video about this because I think this has huge potential to be my number 1 film camera, to be honest
the next video is coming soon, less than a week and it's something a bit different, something a bit different this week
yeah, that's about it really, so uh, peace :)
