This is a close-up of a screw press on exhibition in the Fox Talbot museum at Lacock. It obviously had some function in early photography, presumably near the end of the process when the image was nearing completion, The museum ranges over two floors in an old barn. The lighting is varied and challenging and the point-and-shoot method with everything in automatic seldom produces a satisfactory outcome. Here I tried the exact opposite with a 28mm f/2 Nikkor AI lens on a Nikon D300s. The starting point was taking a white balance reading which would record the colours faithfully. You find all this stuff out as you go along, looking at the screen on the back and making adjustments. Gifted people can do it with film. I never could.
