After a night at ATP, London, shooting entrants to a fancy dress competition with my LC-A, I came to the conclusion that my LOMO coloursplash was too harsh. Using the automatic aperture and a bare colorflash, despite its puny output, was giving me totally blown out hilights in a totally unpleasant way.I remembered a flickr post by theendofprint, talking of a film canister diffusor and got busy with a scalpel to produce the diffusor.
I then set about loading my camera with the shittiest film i ever had the misfortune of buying, Konica Centuria .. And getting Roman to jump out of a laundry basket whilst i played around with the aperture settings on the LC-A.I came out with a result of around 80 cm at f.12 to be to my liking.
Recently directed to a further flickr discussion post regarding the same problem i found that a colosplash flash had been measured an a basic flash exposure chart had been constucted.
