Camera Obscura at Lacock Abbey, Wiltshire

This is a one second exposure taken inside the Camera Obscura, a small garden shed on the Lawn of Lacock Abbey.
Step inside, shut the door and see the image projected on the inside wall.

How intriguing to see photography in action at the place where it all started.

“Photography is born”. August 1835.

We’ve just returned from a pilgrimage to Lacock where Fox Talbot invented photography.
This lattice window was the subject of the world's earliest authenticated surviving negative. What an honour to stand where Fox Talbot stood so many years ago when he made his discovery.
