1953 - Bentley Church
An image taken with this half plate camera, my first non-elementary one. It taught me a lot, especially as plates were so expensive. When I was given it the bellows had been eaten by insects so I went round junk shops till I found a similar camera which, though damaged and lacking bits and pieces had a decent set of bellows which I could cannibalize. I kept the other camera and have been restoring it too. So perhaps soon it will get a gallery of it's own.
Bentley is a village just off the main road between Alton and Farnham.
