Speed Reading: Ware Hertfordshire
The title comes from the reflected lights in the window giving an impression of speed.
The window is presenting the new library in Ware to be opened soon. I love the poster advertising this new local facility. The premises was once called Utopia but it is soon to be a reading Utopia. The street cleaning hero walked into the scene to add some variety to the picture.
Now the nerd bit.
In the 1960’s I was given an old Westminster Photographic press camera dated from the 1930’s. The viewfinder was just a wire frame on the top and you guess the focal distance etc because everything was manual. The shutter was a focal plane shutter that gave a good crash when you pressed the shutter button CRASH!!!
So I today set myFuji up so I could only see through an external viewfinder turning off all the screens and help. This picture is one of the results. Once I had sorted the setting out there was a great deal of freedom in taking pictures. The results were interesting with plenty of lopsided pictures etc but the freedom from technology was great.
