Ancient gatepost
The pine plantation grew up around this old gatepost, now all the trees have all been felled leaving this wall broken and exposed once more.
Taken on a very windy day with an old Walzflex TLR + tripod
Ilford FP4 in Perceptol
I can't figure out if the 75mm f3.5 Waltz lens is a triplet or a Tessar type! - It's generally very good but with some corner fall-off.

The bitingly sharp wall contrasts well with the blurry foliage.
I was always told to open the back and look through the lens at a light bulb, if you see three reflections it's a triplet, four and it's a tessar. Not that it makes much difference as it looks great to me!

Good to see Waltzflex out!
I am holidaying near Rippon with my Rolleicord IV and Mamiya C33 I almost took my Waltzflex but I have had to travel light.

exemplar, so tonally lovely I could almost touch it.
Makes 35mm grain look like sand.

The gatepost and wall look like they can withstand anything nature can throw at them.

Ernie, Another masterpiece!
The face worn on the gatepost is truly haunting, the wispy ghosts of vegetation and the ever black abyss beyond give me the creeps. Great photo!
Hope I can sleep tonight.
Cheers, Michael
