I went on a mission to the camera shop this afternoon.
While I was walking, I spotted these leaves and pods drifting down the canal, which I thought made for an interesting shot.
A tilt-shift lens followed me home, so I'm hoping to have something to show from that soon.
It's a very long time since I used a camera with lens movements, and even then, I didn't do very much with it - I borrowed a large format camera from the photography department of the uni I worked at in a previous life, so I have some re-learning to do on the Scheimpflug principle.
I did once own most of a 4x5" large format camera that I was working on restoring, but I don't recall exactly what happened to it in the end - I guess the project just dissipated and I lost the bits over time and house moves.
I do remember learning how to make bellows, and I built myself a controller for a Copal 0 electronic shutter I found on eBay. A kind person in the US who I'd met on a photo forum took delivery of it and forwarded it to me, as the seller only offered US domestic shipping.
