I Shoot Film : Kodak Ultramax 400 : Calverton Saint Wilfreds Church

I Shoot Film :

This photo was shot on a Voigtländer Vito B camera, that's almost 70 years old (I did say SEVENTY).

This is St. Wilfred's Church, Calverton, Nottingham. We take Alfie our grandson there to a toddler group every week. I used to take Willow our granddaughter there too.

I nipped out from the group (leaving my wife and Alfie inside) to take some photos of the church (this was just before Easter). I also took some photos of two ladies who volunteer in the charity shop that sold me the camera (they are excited to see the results)

This is amazing technology, I'm sharing pictures I took on a 70 years old camera to an online community of photographers from across the world. I guess the technology would be unbelievable to the original owner of the camera back in the 1950's.

Old equipment brought back to life

What a lovely church, it looks beautiful with the sunlight shining on the brickwork. The 70 year old equipment did very well, as did the photographer in capturing the shot.

[Carole Sandford]

A lovely church & what food for thought re the technology.

[Rob Z]

Age doesn't seem to have worried it - it's a super image.

[Beryl Lloyd]

This is a fantastic image. A vintage camera that does not have anything to envy to modern models!

Your camera is on much better working order than I am! They don't build 'em like that any more!
