Washing on the Line in the Alley

Washing on the Line in the Alley
I used a Canon EOS 30D with a Pentacon 50mm f/1.8 lens mounted via an EOS - M42 adapter. The lens came with a Praktica MTL5 camera and the two cost me £12.50.

The Pentacon f/1.8 50mm is the last version of the Meyer-Optik "Oreston" f/1.8 50mm. It performs better than I had remembered, notwithstanding that using it on the EOS 30D was hopeless for metering the light and I fell back on the "Sunny 16" rule. I was also glad to have Lightroom in which to edit the original RAW image.

Unaccountably inspires religious feelings in me.

Some images unaccountably awaken memories stored so deeply that to all intents and purposes they have been forgotten until some prompt males them come to the front. I have experienced this; it is sometimes unsettling because it is incomplete and frustrating.
There is an arched window in an old stone building under a slate roof in the background. The sky is blue and the light is strong, casting deep shadow. Maybe a connection to a chapel.
Nice to have you roaming over the photographs again, Steve.
