The Limbo Connection's photos

Focal length 28mm; f/6.3;1/125th; ISO 800.

This is very little changed by post-processing. It looks blue because I forgot to alter the setting for white balance from the previous picture I took. Focal length 28mm; f/14;1/800th; ISO 3200.

Focal length 28mm; f/6.3;1/160th; ISO 6400.

Nikon D40 and Tamron SP 35mm F1.8 Di VC lens. The D40 has a crop sensor and so pairing it with a 35mm lens makes using it like the old days of film when you bought a camera with a standard 50mm lens. 200 ISO; f/8; 1/250th.

On a sunny day when they had visitors - and they had many visitors, or so it seems to me in hindsight - someone would suggest going outside and taking a photograph. And if she had not already anticipated the visit, she would tell him to go upstairs and put on a collar and tie. Minutes passed. Suggestions concerning the best place to stand were discussed. And then we heard his tread on the stairs, and he emerged in a state now deemed appropriate for his image to be recorded. With no particular emotion he would acquiesce in her instructions as to where to stand. And then, with two or three photographs taken - seldom more - they would return to the living room. The moment of excitement was over.

In the summertime, when the weather is high.

Say 'cheese'.

Don't tell Tesco that 'decadent' means having low moral standards or being morally wrong and evil.

During the second world war the British Ministry of Food encouraged so much extra production of carrots that by 1942 there was a 100,000 ton surplus. The Ministry's "War Cookery Leaflet 4″ included recipes for carrot pudding, carrot cake, carrot marmalade and carrot flan. There were madder ideas from non-official sources. Britain is famous for eccentricity. Carrots contain high levels of vitamin A and contribute to the health of your eyes. Carrots don't actually improve your night vision. The big carrots sold in supermarkets are cultivated for their heavy crop and don't have much taste. Keep your wits about you if you are dicing carrots. There are no prizes for speed, or if there are, there shouldn't be.

The wheelbarrow was stabilised by the weight of the rainfall deposited by Storm Bert. A few autumn leaves bobbed around in their new aquatic surroundings. Fujifilm X-E1 and Fujinon 35mm f/1.4 XF R lens.

After Storm Bert had receded there was stillness and occasional shafts of bright sunlight. It was one such that prompted me to catch a brief opportunity of using some good light. Well, at least it's vivid. Nikon D2Xs and Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/3.5 AI lens.

V. dim light. Old camera stretched at 1600 ISO. Macro lens at f/3.5. As so often, it was the last photo of the batch. And it gets posted purely because the earlier ones are even worse.

Posted previously in colour. B&W is an improvement, I think. A macro lens can open up photographic possibilities when you're out and about. I imagine some people carry only a macro lens. According to Mike Johnstone, who was a leading light of the independent quarterly ink-on-paper magazine called 'The 37th Frame' for people who are really "into" photography, they are "Great hobby lenses, as macro photographers are among the only happy photo enthusiasts."

Various cats frequent Lacock Abbey. This one seemed to have dominion over the gardens. There is a decent building in the gardens for indoor plants. At least, we think it is for indoor plants. The cat thinks it is for cats, or more accurately, cat, singular.

A turf-out. Our shelves are double-banked.

A full witness statement is still awaited.
