Those members here that also frequent the Range Finder Forum will recognise this post. For those who do not visit there I will post the this here too. Early Wednesday morning last week I was stired from my sleep by the sound of sirens flying past my house, both police and fire brigade. I didn't bother going out to see what had happened because I was so tired. I found out what it was all about when I did get up and was listening to the radio. A local church hall was burnt to the ground. Luckily nobody was hurt and adjacent buildings were saved. i know (or is it knew) this building quite qell. I walked past it every day on my way to and from work. It was quite old and was heritage listed. It was a weatherboard building, made virtually enitirely out of wood. This would explain how it went up in flames so quickly and why the destruction was so severe. I carry one of my cameras with me almost all the time and I had my Zorki at hand that afternoon when I was walking home from work. I shot of a few frames to capture the remains of the building forever, before they bulldoze it to make way for a replacement. The cause of the fire is still unknown. Thanks for looking. Heath

Nice crisp shots - they convey the starkness of the devastation. Pity you din't go to check out the sirens, you could have got some great action shot practice.
My niece was in Northern Canada at a camp made up of log cabins when one of them burnt down. She got some superb shots of that.
Are these de-saturated or were you lucky enough to have b&w loaded?
Regards - John

When I said it was early, I did mean early, about 4am. The hall is/was almost a km away, and if I had gone out to see what it was I would have had my 300D with me, so it would have been digital shots of that.
On the subject of what film I had in the camera, it was out of date Kodak c-41 B&W 400iso. I am loving the J-12 when used with B&W film. I don't know how it colour film goes in it as i have not tried any yet with this lens.
