St. Chad’s
I have my 2nd roll of film back, and this time it’s not blank.
The shots are just of things around the town, nothing special. The shots I lost on the blank roll would have been more interesting, I think, lots of flood water (which has now receded). This is the first camera I have owned with controls for aperture, shutter speed and focus. It also has a ‘bulb’ mode, where the shutter stays open for as long as the keep the release pressed down, ideal for night shots.
The shot above of St. Chad’s (a round church in the middle of Shrewsbury) was taken at 8PM, with a shutter time of about 3 seconds. Unfortunately, I hadn’t wound the film on enough, so I had a massive over-exposed strip on the left. I’ll learn.

The camera I’m using is older than me, a Voigtlander Vitoret D.
What? Why Bother?
