photo from week 318 - Hanimex 35 hs

20T
Simple bold colourful street furniture in full sunlight is always a fallback subject for a simple camera.

reflected self-portrait with Haniex 35 hs camera and flamingo hat
Indoor self-portraits are always a challenge for simple point and shoot cameras. I used a sheet of mirrored plastic, and stood in the sun for this one.

big brick bird
This colourful brick mural, taken in weak winter sunlight, didn't pose any problems for the Hanimex, I think I used the "middle" aperture setting.

Week 318 - Hanimex 35 hs

Hanimex 35 hs
This is a little plastic point and shoot, that is a notch up from the very basic models. It has a hot shoe for flash, and three different apertures, identified by symbols. Thesr is a fixed shutter speed, and no focussing, but the choice of apertures should make it usuable in winter daylight.
I've loaded it with a roll of Agfa Vista ISO 200 film from Poundland.

Abbey Lane Angel
Another regular subject, one of the angels at Abbey Lane Cemetery.

red horse chestnut
One of my regular subjects, a horse chestnut tree in my local park. The "Nightbird" is a redscaled film, allegedly rated at 500 to 800 ISO, but it seems that really it should be rated at ISO 50, and all my photos were very under-exposed.

monkey puzzle light leak
I made a right dog's dinner out of loading the camera, and managed to fog the first one and a half exposures out of the eight. This is the fogging and part of the second frame.
