Whitby Abbey

Taken with a Kodak Vest Pocket Autographic Camera in week 35 of my 52 film cameras in 52 weeks project:

This camera belonged to my late grandfather, and is around 90 years old. There are clearly some problems with light leaks, but on the whole I think this adds to the interest of the photos.

My theory about the spectacular light leak, is that there were two small pinholes in the bellows, and that as I turned the camera round to wind the film on, the camera swept across the sun. Either that or they're some supernatural phenomenon...
