I’d only shot Cinestill 800t once. I was given a roll by a friend over a year ago and was petrified I’d screw it up. Eventually I bit the bullet, loaded it into my trusty OM10 fitted with a nifty 50 and took a sunset walk around London’s Canary Wharf.
An old friend of mine, Emmett once told me of his policy of picking tuna when choosing a lunchtime sandwich at Tesco. His rationale is that sooner or later tuna fish will become so rare that prices of it will rise so high as to make it prohibitively expensive for the general population to afford it more than a few times a year. I told him I didn’t really like tuna that much and he agreed but said “I just want to be able to tell my as yet unborn kids what it tasted like.” Dark right? But weirdly understandable.
I’ve had the Minolta Dynax 5 for a few months now and seeing that it was capable of a shutter speed up to 30 seconds I was intrigued by what could be achieved. So I loaded a roll of Kodak ColorPlus (I really love this film), picked up my tripod and made my way to central London.
