Thanks, Oliver. I was really pleased by the Ilford so I bought a bunch more. It's well-suited to urban landscapes.

That's interesting because I read something about the Ildord XP2 this WE telling it's very nice, contrasty with fine grain. This BW film is particular as it is developed using c41 as color films.

Excellent work !
Where is it taken ?

May be I'm wrong, but seems it is from Poland. There is a similar ceiling in St. Bernard church (14-17 centuries) in Vilnius . Architects from Gdansk were working on this late Gothic building.

Poland, Malbork (Marienbourg), Medieval Castle of Teutonic Order,
Polish knighthood crashed them at Tannenberg in 1410.

Yes, it was a huge alliance. We were brothers in arms. Later something went terribly wrong.

I saw pictures from there , very appealing .
On the other hand , in my ancestors managed to go there and take part to the battle in 1410 (there were some 400 -900 archers and infantry and 25 noblemen lead by the logothete Alexandrel Mihaiu sent from Moldavia to support the Polish Lithuanian coalition by the Prince Alexandru cel Bun ) ,it should easier to get there now Wink
By the way , wich is the better time there to visit (I need warm and sunny asa much as possible to convince my wife to move the hollydays towards north )

I used 100ASA @ 64ASA. You can use a tripod with no hesitations. We have had a law in Poland since 2008, that you can shot all for free but with no flash Wink Earlier, you had to pay extra ticket for shooting. :]
There is a lot of people in the summer, but in September, we have a warm and colorful autumn here, so this is a great time to visit. Its sunny, warm, and people are just after their vacations, so no crowds Wink
