Lomography Time Again

 I've been having fun with a couple of Minolta Dynax cameras. These were very expensive beasts in the 1990s and 2000s but are now available for around £20 including a lens on the secondhand market. No duds yet. They seem pretty reliable. Anyway I've been taking some Agent Shadow pictures with a one f-stop boost to get round the dull autumn light in Scotland and the results are on my Lomography site.

 I recently restarted a long-running Dungeons and Dragons game that I started as Dungeon Master back in the days of lockdown during the Covid-19 crisis. We started it on Zoom and I've kept it that way as it allows the far flung family and some pals to join in. It's a great way to spend an evening every month catching up and creating a story together. Being online, I've come up with a few ways to try and compensate for the lack of the full tabletop experience.

I was putting some Agent Shadow from  Kosmofoto  through its paces, push processed to 1600 ISO, and some Santacolor 100 from  Santa 1000 , an ideal colour film for the Christmas period. I picked up both of these from the crowdfunders that got them started. The Agent Shadow pushes to some great speeds for flash-free photography in the Scottish winter and these shots were take with a Minolta Dynax 404si. The Santacolor needs a bit more light but this aerial survey film picks out great colours in the Christmas lights. This time I loaded a Minolta Dynax 4 with the film.
