As a student of the surveying I had been sent to the Institute of Volcanology and Seismology in Kamchatka for the practice. We did surveying for the scientific purposes.

Wow, and they sent us to the back lawn and around the city to learn surveying! Very Happy

Very nice images of course.

I always liked those old slide film shots.. the first picture is amazing!

just curious, what was the situation with slide films availability and processing, back in '80s in USSR?

So they do today with the students in my Alma Mater. My times fortunately had been much, much happier. And the grass also used to be of much greenish color. Smile

Well, I believe the mosquitoes had been behaving too friendly for her point of view.

Well, the slide film from the native production was scarcely useful. People preferred the DDR ORWOCOLOR, or the FOMA from Czechoslovakia. However, it had been very difficult to caught it in the store. So, you had to look for the helpful salesman who would present it to you for the price much higher that it had to be officially. Which, of course was quite illegal. From which reason that service had been offered only to persons whom that salesman trusted.

However with the processing there was no problem at my time. There used to be a lot of chemistry packages from factories, and so-so reliable store processing. I processed my fist slide film myself, but later was too lazy to repeat this experience.
