A day off at the beginning of August gave me an opportunity to go exploring with my pinhole camera again so I went in search of some churches to photograph. I set myself a challenge by only taking my little tabletop tripod so that meant I had to find photos which would suit this low perspective.
I started off at the church in Takeley - sadly closed but there was plenty of opportunities in the churchyard. Creative limitations always make me work harder and this low perspective certainly helped me consider possibilities I might otherwise have overlooked.

From Takeley I took to the road again and ended up in the village of Aythorp Roding. Here the church was open, but with slow film in my camera I was looking at exposure times of an hour or more so I gave up on that idea and finished off my film around the churchyard.
