The Conservatory
The Conservatory of Flowers in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park is a wonderfully old fashioned place and we come here about once a year to take pictures, usually on a workday when the place is empty enough to allow for good photos.
It’s a very tight place with narrow walkways between the towering plants, high humidity and low light, so it’s a bit of a challenge to find a good subject and shooting in there can be quite strenuous. But we always come back for more…
Here’s a shot of the eastern wing of the conservatory with its huge water lily pond and tropical vegetation.
Taken with my Kodak Vigilant f8.8 on Ilford Delta 100.

Nice work with that great old camera; it seems perfectly suited to the subject.
I don’t recall ever visiting the Conservatory when we lived in SF. I had to go back as a tourist recently to shoot the place, and used my Contaflex I to get the job done.
