Rochester Cathedral

I shot this Superia 800 basically as a last resort thing. I'm not sure why but I had it utterly ingrained (pun intended) that it would be quite useles with too much grain to be worthwhile. I'm glad I was wrong, This stuff rocks! What would be interesting is to know for sure what this was shot at as I don't really make exposure notes for neg film or shots that are lit trickily. I do remember shooting quite a few in the f/2 - f/2.8 range (it was more important to have a higher shutter speed for a steady pic than a photo with depth that was blurred from shooting at a slow shutter speed!) -- either way, this was shot fairly wide open on the Ultron -- which even though it's not a Leica lens, is one heck of a good chunk of glass.

This is part of the wider set of about 500 photos from my 160 mile North Downs Way jaunt in June 2009 - a fantastic walking holiday out in the mostly wilds of Surrey and Kent...
