Note that it was a dull day and so, to get short enough exposures to prevent blurring, the photos were taken using very fast film speeds. The film speed is shown alongside each photo (faster speeds equal more grainy, less sharp photos). Given the film speeds used, I'm VERY impressed at how sharp these photos are!
