Title: The Zimmermann Tapes
Post by: TippHex on March 12, 2019, 08:38:52 am: This secret telegram was intercepted and decoded by the British and given to the Americans, who, enraged by its contents led them to their involvement in WW1. This picture was taken in Bletchley Park, the former Top Secret code breaking establishment in Britain. It was here in Hut 6 that Alan Turing and his colleagues created the first programable computer in the world.

Taken using an ageing iPhone 6. I keep toying with the idea of dumping all my trad gear and getting maybe a Pixel3 as my image making increasingly veers more to the illustrative than pure photographic 'quality'. I guess in the end I'll just keep using both... But frankly, as I don't print and just share on-line, a simple PhoneCam might be all I 'actually' need. I'm a little wedding to the photographers mantra of quality always. Maybe I need to jump out of this straightjacket...
