Bench by a 70-year old 


A bench near the Cathedral. Shot with a pre-war Welta Weltix (see one being used for money laundering [grossly overpriced] here), 35mm folding camera equipped with an uncoated 5cm f/2.9 triplet (this one is unfortunately fungi-infested, adding to loss of contrast and flare in side- and backlit situations, the shot is processed during scanning for more contrast).

Framing is so-so [well, to be honest, it's rubbish] in this shot, I'll blame the tiny uncoupled viewfinder ;)

This camera is the one my father got started into photography many many years ago.

I don't think it is so bad as you say, the focus is right as well, yes, maybe fungus could be annoying, but despite all it is a nice shot, i like the bokeh too.

Thank you! I usually make notes when doing test runs (what aperture and shutter speed used etc.) but a couple of ones from the middle of the roll (including this one) weren't noted. I'm guessing at wide open-ish though.


But I do remember wanting to give the bench more space on the front and not like this smack in the middle ;)

The out of focus area is quite interesting. I agree, the bench could have done without a street light growing out of it ;-)
