Sylvia Plath grave, Heptonstall. Nikon F65. Rollei RPX 25.

The final resting place of Sylvia Plath has been the subject of much controversy. Many believe that a small headstone in a West Yorkshire churchyard is too modest for a writer of Plaths stature. Other visitors have taken objection to the fact that the stone bares her married name and have defaced the word "HUGHES."

An article in the Guardian the clergyman in charge of St Thomas church was noted to have expressed concern about coping with the number of visitors wishing to visit the grave and leave tributes.

Luckily the sun was out when I visited. This allowed me to shoot these photos on some very slow film.

Hebden Bridge. Nikon F65. Rollei RPX 25.

Back in October I took a drive over the Pennines and into West Yorkshire with the sole intention of visiting Hebden Bridge. I was not disappointed.

It is an absolutely beautiful town and I was glad my Nikon was loaded with black and white film as that seemed to suit the surroundings. I was also glad for some bright weather as the roll in question was Rollei RPX 25.

Nikon F65. Rollei RPX 25.

Having been happy with results from 50 and 80 ISO film stocks I was eager to try with something "slower." When I saw Rollei RPX 25 and realised that my Nikon F65 would recognise the Dx code I ordered two rolls. It was only later that I realised I needed either bright weather, a fast lens or both. Hence it remained in my fridge longer than I expected. The 50mm f1.8 prime lens helped too.
