Reg was 25 when he died in 1893

When I was a boy Reg still had a head, I wonder what happened to it?
I had forgotten how peaceful this old cemetery was, I even found some relatives from 1823.
I have stocked up on Polaroid Blue film for our New York trip.

Polaroid Fenland Project

An on going project to document the Fenland area around Warboys using mainly instant film, in this case Fuji 3000B pack film in my Polaroid 103 Automatic Land camera.
This film has a box speed of 3000 ISO and is VERY sensitive to the smallest light leaks in these old cameras. This 103 is one of my better pack cameras and leaks are generally few and far betweem.
With this project I am trying to record the essence of the fens, straight roads (droves), drainage ditches and wonky electricity poles feature heavily.

Hardwick Road Cemetery #1

You can't beat a good old day out in a Victorian Cemetery with a pinhole camera...well each to his own is what I say.
Thing is with the pinhole camera, nothing is ever really sharp but everything is in focus.
With an aperture of f138 you can get pretty close to your subject, in fact you need to really to get a dramatic shot.
Composition is by guess work - exposure is a combination of experience and guidance from a pinhole exposure calculator.

Skegness #2

We knew that rain was on the way so it was a case of literally snapping away. It's always a little unpredictable using a toy camera with zone focusing but so , so liberating at the same time.
I was really trying to capture moments, little vignettes of this seaside town and the Holga is just perfect for this.
