photo from week 218 - Lomo LC-A+
This one was also taken using the 0.8m distance setting. The colour cast is due to cross-processing slide film in negative chemistry.

The LC-A+ has four focus zones, the closest of which is 0.8m, which is what I used here, taken indoors, this was inevitably at full aperture, maximising the risk of being out of focus, but it could have been worse.

It seems almost compulsory to use cross-processed film with the LC-A+, so I loaded it with a roll of Rollei Digibase CR200 slide film, which I cross-processed in C41 chemistry. Double exposures are also de rigueur when using Lomography cameras, though, despite appearances, this one is a single exposure with reflections.

Week 218 - Lomo LC-A+
The original Lomo LC-A was a Soviet copy of the Cosina CX2 that I used in week 81. The LC-A+ is an updated version marketed by the Lomography people but made in China. It has some added features and has a cult following which is reflected in the price, luckily I picked mine up quite cheaply.

photo from week 217 - Olympus Pen FT
Another in-camera sequence, this time scanned to include the sprocket holes in the overall composition.

As a single lens reflex, the Pen FT is ideal for close ups at full aperture, the plane of focus is quite shallow here. Note the vertical format, despite the camera looking like it will produce a landscape format image.

I like making little sequences using half frame cameras, these three were taken around the Derwent Dam, famous as having been the place where the "Dambusters" perfected their technique.
