Damn it, you get all the good wooden ruins on the left side of the pond. Over here, they just go mouldy in the rain, fall over, and sink in the bog.

My wooden ruins are moldy and falling over! (I'm on the coast and gets too much damp salt air)

Ah, but these days getting close to a scheduled monument with a tripod isn't always easy... thanks for the reminder, though. Somewhere around I have a 35mm shot of the stone circle at Callanish, on the island of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides. Takes some getting to, but worth it and not bothered by too many tourists, if you pick your day (probably because it's two days from anywhere...)

Is 12th century old enough? This is St Peters, in Berkhamsted, dating from the 12th century, with bits of 14th and 15th century and some major rework in the 19th...



I would like to point out that the camera is level; the church isn't. Those columns on the right are perhaps eight or twelve inches out at the top; those on the left also lean but somewhat less so. I think they need a spirit level.

I do like the flare from the door glass.

Very nicely seen.

Thanks!

Old tattered flag blowing in the breeze at this little cemetery and pond out in the middle of nowhere.

Brookline General Store, Brookline NH.

Here is a scan of a hand-coated glass plate (or dry plate) negative, 4x5" taken with a Seneca No. 2. I mixed the emulsion myself using a basic silver bromide recipe from the 1890s. It is about ISO 0.5-1 or so. The holes in upper left are where the emulsion came off the plate during development...still working on my coating technique.

Monson Center, Hollis NH. Monson was the first chartered inland town in New Hampshire, but was split between Milford and (what would become) Brookline and Hollis sometime in the 1700s.

My daughter holding her arms up hoping a bird would land.

10s exposure. Dry plate negative same deal as above.

Nodda, I like what you are doing. Are you getting your information from The Light Farm?
