[OM] OT, Fame at last - perhaps ;-)

Sorry for the OT chaps and chappesses, but I have just heard from the BBC that I am on the short list with my entry for the "My Britain at 6am" competition. This is being run by the Today programme (early morning current affairs programme on BBC Radio 4 - the best radio station in the world in my opinion) and started with a professional photographer's portfolio. The final list will be subject to a vote, and someone will win from the vote.

Anyway, it is OT because I used my Bronica RF645 and 45/4 for the shot, but on-topic because Bob Gries recommended the film - Ilford Pan F - and Bob used it with his OMs. It's a tenuous connection, but sufficient for me ;-) A better connection is that the professional photographer is one Nick Danziger; he was featured in OlympUser, the British Olympus magazine for the Olympus Camera Club. On the BBC website, you can see him holding a 4Ti with a rather battered hood on a lens:

The shot is of the back of King's College, Cambridge early in the morning in May this year, including the River Cam and a lovely old bridge (whose name I don't know). I will provide a URL when I know one.
