I was thrilled when I saw this Canon PowerShot Elph 340 HS show up on Facebook Marketplace. The seller wanted $210 for the camera, and I was able to negotiate it down to $80 cash. It was a great deal, and I was excited to make a video that showcased the kinds of photos it could make.
Two big points about this camera: 1. It doesn't have a CCD sensor (CMOS instead). 2. It has the Positive Film preset built-in.
I've said this before, and I'll say it again - the Positive Film preset is, for me, one of the main reasons why I prefer Canon digicams over Nikon, Olympus, FujiFilm, etc. Many of the photos I've taken using this setting are pretty useable SOOC (still, I can't resist doing my own editing).
I know some of you who are Street Photography purists would disqualify these photos as street photography, and I wouldn't necessarily disagree. One of the key ingredients in street photography? PEOPLE. And in this part of Omaha there are almost ZERO pedestrians. This is a car-centric city, and this part of Omaha is in pretty rough shape. A lot of abandoned buildings and next to no retail and residential buildings at all.
Even though there weren't a ton of people to photograph, I did get two of an older man named Chester. He was making his way through a yard and expressed some curiosity about what I was doing so I told him I was making photographs and then asked him if I could take his photo. He said yes, so I snapped two quick pictures of him. The second one was overexposed even with 1/3 of a stop of exposure compensation so I'm disappointed that I made a technical mistake.
I will say that the CMOS sensor photos I take with these Canon digicams feel a bit too saturated in the sky when I edit them using the RNI Films app for iPad. I tone down the blue quite a bit to get it where I like it. It wasn't tough to let this camera go: the fact that it was purple AND had a CMOS sensor meant that this wasn't the right digicam for me.
This was also the first video I've made using my newly repaired Original Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera (BMPCC OG). I rigged it up with my SmallHD Focus 5" monitor and my RØDE VideoMic Pro to see what it was like to have all the tools I needed to get the best footage possible. I also used my Peak Design tripod to make it even easier. At one point a guy approached me asking me what I was doing. He had stopped his truck on the street and came toward me in a way that made me uncomfortable. There's something about a 6' 4" guy wearing all black and holding a camera on a tripod that makes people think you are up to no good. I had a bit of a tense exchange with the guy. I was not in the mood to deal with people who think their discomfort means that I'm doing something wrong. I'm not. Leave me alone.
It was great shooting with the BMPCC OG, but my biggest issue is the LUMIX 14-42mm powered lens. I don't like having to use switches to zoom and focus - I feel like I don't have finer control over these functions so I might try its sister 14-42mm LUMIX lens that zooms and focuses on the barrel of the lens. The BMPCC OG absolutely chewed through batteries, but fortunately I have six of them so it's not a huge problem.
As far as the attempted assault goes... That was crazy. I don't know what I was thinking with holding my ground as this guy charged toward me. I should have started backing up and to keep distance between us, and now I know after being assaulted TWICE doing street photography to keep space between me and charging assailants.
I'd write more about it, but I said everything I needed to say about it in the podcast I co-host with my buddy Alex. If you have any questions about what happened, drop me a comment.
