The above photos were taken by PGHA member Bob R. during our investigation of Rosedale Cemetery. Somewhere around the sixth picture, Bob's camera batteries had started to drain. Bob told us that he had just replaced them a few weeks prior and had only used the camera a few times since then. The batteries should have lasted at least six months (from prior experiences Bob knew this) with heavy usage. Nonetheless, the batteries were now nearly depleted. Bob said that, as the batteries drained, he noticed that the shutter to his camera was not closing correctly in between shots. He made note of this so that he could examine the pictures once they were developed. The above  photos are the result of the problems he was experiencing with the shutter. After pic seven or eight, the camera had died completely. Having shutter problems? This is what you might expect.
