 Minolta XG1 - 7.4 mm F/4. Last sliver of sun before second contact.

I had many problems with my main cameras. One - the Yashica FX3 - the shutter would fire when the film advance lever was released and the second - the Yashica FX3 Super - the tripod broke. I asked the young lady who is pictured in most of the wide angle shots to fire the shutter and advance the film on the two wide angle cameras. I forgot to ask her name.
