Winding gear - a photo on Flickriver

Winding gear

            Given its location near a lake, I assume this to a be a winch of some kind. I find it hard to take photographs of these kinds of objects, and I am sure there are many better images that I might have made given a little more thought and experimentation, but going through a couple of years' worth of negatives, I was unexpectedly drawn to it. 

One of the things that surprises me is just how sharply focussed it is, for what was probably a fairly open shot on a Rollei 35 S; not just that, but quite how good this camera and its lens have made a number of fairly mediocre framings appear. I need to get it looked at, as, like many of my cameras, it has never been issue free.

And so, winding gear, Blenheim Park, Oxon, The same roll, and day, I think, as the last several images. The leaves were still burning orange on the ground, then, alongside the path.

Blenheim Park, November 2020, Rollei 35 S, Rollei RPX 400, ID-11 stock.
