Les Quatre Amis

Film: Ilford HP5 Plus @EI400

Process: Bellini Hydrofen (Rodinal Special / Studional) 1+39, 5min 15 sec @20*C

Camera: Lomo LC-A (original Soviet version, 1986)

Scanner: Optronics ColorGetter Falcon drum scanner, wet-mounted scan

 

This is another image made on my recent trip to Paris, where the only analogue camera I took was my LC-A.

 

The film was exposed at box speed, and I used Bellini Hydrofen, a new version of Rodinal Special/Studional which is available in the UK from Nik and Trick Photographic Services of Folkestone. Inverted with my usual ColorPerfect workflow.

 

I happened to glance up when on the second-level viewing platforms of the Eiffel Tower, and saw the centre of the upper deck was clear except for these four friends. Luckily, the zone focus on my LC-A was set to 3m, so this shot turned out nicely sharp. I'm still surprised just how clear images from a properly adjusted LC-A can be.
