  1. I have a photo from a few months ago taken from almost the exact same spot as this. I remeber I spent quite some time clambering about over tree roots at the riverbank trying to get a composition I liked. I was shooting my Bronica ETRSi with the 75mm lens, which is roughly equivalent to the 50mm on 135 that you used.

    This was mine: https://flic.kr/p/2iUNRyD

      1. Thank you. Yeah, it’s a nice location. I want to try and get a wide-angle or panorama of the house just upstream from the weir. I’ve photographed that before, but always on a standard lens.
