Apparently yesterday was World Toy Camera Day (WTCD) or so the internet said and what the internet says goes.\u00a0 So I loaded a roll of Ektar\u00a0100 in my 1960’s Diana medium format ‘toy’ camera.\u00a0 I went out with the plan\u00a0to\u00a0shoot all 16 frames and then develop it the same day, which I did.\u00a0 I also pushed the film by two stops and processed the film at 104 degrees instead of the 102 prescribed.\u00a0 It was partially to compensate for the fact that I had already processed\u00a0more than\u00a0the recommended number of\u00a035mm rolls of film in the\u00a0chemistry and the fact that the Dianna\u00a0has a fixed shutter somewhere between 1\/60 and 1\/100 second and I\u00a0sensed that it was causing under exposure for the conditions. The other reason was that I just felt like it and I could.\u00a0 My Dianna\u00a0leaks light like a\u00a0pasta strainer and even though I taped it up ‘a bit’ it still let the sunshine in.\u00a0 So here is my contiribution to WTCD.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
