Title: I’ll Cross That Bridge When I Come To It…
Location: Benfleet, Essex
Camera: KMZ Moskva 5 / Industar-24 105mm f/3.5
Film: Ilford Delta 100
Notes: An improvement over yesterday’s pathetic effort, this was taken during a geocaching walk around some nice footpaths in Benfleet. Unfortunately it was still quite overcast and the ISO100 film meant I had to open up the aperture to the maximum f/3.5 which, combined with the 105mm focal lenght, has given a subtle, shallow depth of field.

Title: Skeleton
Location: Terling, Essex
Camera: Ilford Advocate / Dallmeyer Anastigmat 35mm f/3.5
Film: Agfa APX 100
Notes: I found this dilapidated old barn while out walking near Terling this afternoon. The ivy was certainly encroaching – I wonder how long it will take to completely engulf it?

Film: Ilford Delta 100 (expired)
Notes: When I visited Hyde Hall today, they were setting up for an event later in the week and had lined up lots of deck chairs on the lawn outside a marquee. The sun was shining and rather obligingly made some interesting shadows.
