Minolta Dynax 800si, Tamron SP AF 28-75mm f/2.8 XR Di LD at 35mm, 1/250s, f11 – Ilford Delta 400 Professional
Developed in Ilford Ilfotec DD-X at 1:4, 8 mins at 20°c.

Darlington’s Brick Train was created by David Mach in 1997 to celebrate the town’s railway heritage, and is modelled on the steam locomotive Mallard, which set a UK rail speed record of 126 miles per hour in 1938. The locomotive is depicted as if just having exited a tunnel, with the billowing smoke typical of such an exit.

The Minolta Dynax 800si is a chunky beast (especially with the Tamron SP lens attached) but I love using it and really don’t mind carrying it around…

Digitised using Nikon D5600 & AF-S Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8 and Nikon ES-2 Film Digitising Adapter with minimal cropping and tweaking in Lightroom Classic CC.
