Description
Camera: Minolta 7000 / Lens: 50mm / Film: Ilford HP5It's a model of Newcastle's High Bridge (complete with train!) in the Great Hall of the Castle Keep. I didn't have my flash with me so I tried to make up for that by being a complete idiot with the camera settings.
That manoeuvre resulted in an almost unusable negative. I had to set the aperture at F/32 on the enlarger to get it to print. Exposed for 12.5 seconds on grade 3.5.

In my opinion this is a very happy mistake. Your final product has been given a distinct style that recalls the days of early photography. I think this is great, catches the eye way more than a normal photo. Very nice.

It's model-sized and set behind glass... in a way, it is.

Absolutely spectacular, I was almost convinced it was a photo of the actual bridge! Bloody convincing bit of camera work there!
