Same place 38 years later (part A)

Pikk Street, Tallinn, Estonia in December 1987 versus July 2025
 

I visited Tallinn for the first time in 1987. It was also my first and last visit to the Soviet Republic of Estonia. I took a few photographs at the time (I had one roll of 35-mm film with 36 exposures). I went to Tallinn last week to take re-shots of some of the places. I received help from an expert, who pinpointed the exact locations, down to a few meters, where I had taken the shots in 1987.
However, it was still difficult to get the perspective right, and I clearly failed in three of the four pictures. I thought I had taken my 28-100 mm Zoom objective in 1987, but after looking at the pictures, I am not so sure anymore. I also had a 70-210 mm Zoom, and I might have used that one. It's somehow clear from the 1987 images that I must have been far away from the people I photographed, since nobody took notice. I should have used the same camera (which I still have in a drawer that I hadn't opened for a decade or longer), but I didn't manage to get photographic ("chemical") film on short notice.
Shot # 3 was especially challenging since none of the buildings visible in the 1987 image still exist. Happy to get feedback for my next visit!
