New railway bridge |
With the new international railway station in Ashford
came this new footbridge over the tracks to replace an old iron girder
one with steps at each end which were always a trial for anyone with pushchair
or pram. At the back of a drawer in my den I had found a long forgotten
120 roll of Fujicolor nine years out of date and decided to see how well
it had lasted. I loaded it into a Russian plastic Lubitel 2 TLR and took
it for an outing together with my four year old grandson Luke who loves
going out with Grandad to look for pictures. It was his suggestion that
I took a picture of the bridge so I took a reading with a hand held Leningrad
4 meter and dopped down on one knee to see it from his low viewpoint.
This is quite an old photographer's dodge to get a 'wide angle' effect
with enhanced perspective, and that's just what the standard 75mm lens
gave. |
