I think a lot of us are always drawn to water, especially waterfalls, these small falls I found on Ilkley Moor, the best part for me was the camera I used a 1930is Voigtlander Bessa RF 6x9 folding camera if you get a good one, they are so nostalgic to use and are very good image makers,

I like a shutter speed that shows the motion blur but not to the extent of losing texture (detail) this would have been around 1/8 or 1/4 second

Nice image Martin. Spot on comp. as always.

I've lusted after a 6x9 Besser or a Super Ikonta for some time but good copies are hard to find. I do have several variants of the 6x9 Ross Ensign Range with the very excellent Ross copy of the Ziess 4 element lens but most have the not so reliable Ross Epsilon shutter. Just one has the same shutter as your Bessa. Not sure whether it was a retro fit or original. Must get out and start using them again.
