Traveling with Minolta x500
Hungry for travels?
Today, newspaper in Ireland announced significant easing of restrictions. We returned from our trip to Croatia a few days ago and are still in home quarantine.
Traveling was never so complicated like these days. If we didn’t have to, we wouldn’t. Apart from paying for all sorts of tests and increased stress in all this, we managed to get a few days of rest and my photography. Check my Insta page for drone photos and iPhone snaps. It was so good to change the surroundings. I can’t wait to travel freely again, without having to explain why and where etc. Just pack our bags and go.
I shot two Kodacolor 200 films with a Minolta camera ( Minolta which I leave in Croatia – trying to travel light lol) and these analog beauties are something that I looked for. They never disappoint. My regret was that I didn’t have my large format with me, hopefully next time.
We were mainly in the area of Zadar, with short trip to Sibenik county, just to visit Krka national park. Krka is one of the most beautiful rivers in Croatia and NP is big. My recommendations are to take a few days to properly enjoy Krka’s three main areas- northern part with fort, middle with Roski waterfall and lower part with Skradinski buk.
Vrsi Mulo on a windy (Bura) and cloudy day with snow caps on Velebit mountain. Colour of the sea turned in this brown orange, I guess sand was stirred with waves.
Sunset in Zadar, my view of “riva” – promenade.
Zadar, fisherman’s boats and yachts as an everyday view.
This is the road that we are taking every time we are going back and this is the best view of Velebit. Because of this view, it gets even harder to say goodbye.

I developed and scanned my films only yesterday and it is hard to pick favourites. These that are here on this post are not the only ones, off course, but it is enough to get the taste of it.
