The Estuary
Close to where I live is 'The Fitties' at Humberston in Lincolnshire. Taken during 2004 using a Fuji GSW690 III loaded with Ilford Pan F+ which was developed using Paterson FX39.
This camera produces a negative that is six by nine centimeters which in digital megapixel terms would so large it would be a joke. There is no substitute for quality and digital black and white is massively lacking in that.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Nice picture Shaun.
I used to use a couple of old German 6x9 folders. A Franka and a Balda, with very good lenses. I got some fine shots.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Thank you so much for your comments gentlemen, I honestly do appreciate them.
Another estuary shot taken during 2005 at 'The Fitties' of a line of old fence posts on Tetney Marsh. This time though I used 35mm film in a Nikon FM2n camera which was fitted at the time with a Nikon 50mm f1.2 AIS lens. Film was Ilford Delta 100 which was processed using Paterson Aculux II developer.

I remember those old folding German cameras and the serious quality they produced.Originally Posted by walpurgis

This is a shot taken today, 26th April, 2015 at a rather isolated and lonely spot called Donna Nook in Lincolnshire. This place is a military firing range and so is only really open to the public at weekends when we don't have wars. I love this place and would like my ashes scattered here after I have been cremated.

That's nice Shaun. The posts give a good perspective.
