The hydro generating station from the bridge in Petty Harbour

This hydro-electric plant was built at the very end of the 19th

century, a very model of modern technology. It is still producing

electricity.



I took this picture yesterday with my Belair X6-12 camera with its

35mm back and the 90mm Belairgon lens. The lens was manufactured by

the people who make Zenit cameras and lenses in Russia. It is a huge

improvement on the plastic lens that came with the camera.



This was on the Kodak C41 b&w film, CN400 (or whatever they call it).

The film was over ten years old and -- unlike most C41 film -- stank

of a vinegar-like smell before it was developed. It doesn't smell now,

and it served the (photographic) purpose well.
