Euro 2012 – part 2

During the Euro 2012 games I managed to shoot one more film with Ricoh 500RF. Camera is perfect for the street – small, light rangefinder. Below you can see 20 photos from the second film.

I had no time to add some comment to this post so I’m doing it now… You can always try to find some comments under the photo when magnified. I usually write some comments there also – except the situation when the whole description is in the text of course :)

This second film was second part of the test of that Ricoh with color film. I’ve decided to shoot in Agfaphoto VistaPlus 200 to show those white and red colors all around during the Euro 2012. Of course the film is outdated – that’s why those colors are not always natural. I tried to correct the reds and green here, but not always I had patience to play with the sliders…

Those photos are maybe not-so-artistic, but the aim was to register what is going on around me during the Euro 2012 time in Poland (Warsaw here). On purpose I had with me only Ricoh to use film only. Photos are from the opening game day, second day Poland played, as well as some shots from the fan zone (Portugal – Denmark).

Ok. Now the photos:

Second part – two shots taken after the second game of Poland with Russia. That day there was not so peaceful and safe around as you could judge seeing those photos. There were some fights between polish and russian fanatics…

Last part of photos is from the another day – when Portugal and Denmark played. I went to see how it look like in the fanzone when Poland is not playing. The difference is huge – compare first photo and those below…
