Shot with a Canon F1 filled with Kodak Elite 400UC Colour Negative media.

Lens was a Canon 600mm f4.5-5.6 L with additional 2x extender giving 1200mm at something like f11 on this shot I would guess (though lens would probably have been set to f5.6 at the time iirc. The sunshine on the day allowed a shutter speed of 1/2000th sometimes though I suspect this was at 1/1000th.

High street processing via Tesco suggests the image is just a touch soft, which trait has been emphasised by crushing for the web. Mind you a DoF of about 30cms (estimated) or less did require some compromise regarding the point of focus! Frankly I was quite surprised that that it came out even vaguely sharp. Or even in the frame at all!

Any comments?

Anyone care to identify the location?

I guess that lens set up is faster than the speed of light!

An hour just for turning the corner? That'd confuse even Einstein.

Actually, the obvious answer is to put the clock right....
