Film: Rerapan 100
Notes: I’ve visited Mountnessing Post Mill many times to find a picture, and once already this year for the Retro 365, but today the clouds were quite spectacular so I felt another visit was in order. I used an Orange filter to bring out the contrast.

Notes: I went to Maldon to visit Carter’s Steam Fair today, and a look around the Quayside to test out my new Yashica 44A Blue baby TLR which arrived the yesterday. It’s a great little camera to use and I was pleased when I got the first roll of film developed that it doesn’t have any problems and appears to work just fine.
