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.

It's scary outside. Nikon D2Xs and Nikkor 70-210mm f/4-5.6 AF lens dating from around 1987 when automatic focus was new and polymer science and technology was not yet regarded in the lens-manufacturing industry as a good alternative to good old metal and glass. Most photographers need a 70-210mm or thereabouts zoom lens but can do without the cost and weight of one. This ancient relic is cheap and almost lightweight.

Nikon D90 and AF Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4-5.6G.

Nikon D40 + Nikkor AF-S 18-70mm lens.

Nikon D40 + AF-S Nikkor 18-70mm f/3.5 - 4.5 G DX lens. Inspired by a Bartok string quartet.

This is an accidental photograph. I tripped the shutter by holding the camera clumsily. Later, I straightened it up in Lightroom and fiddled with the sliders here and there. Nikon D700 + Nikkor 20mm f/3.5 AI-S lens.

I remember Old Road before it was 'Old Road'. It is a bit of the original street through Beanacre left cut off after the Council built a new section of road to straighten out the bends and widen the street generally. The scheme was accomplished by a combination of buying bits of front gardens and bits of back gardens. On completion the new straight and broader main road enabled much higher speed for vehicles; gradually the accident rate grew; there were increasing numbers of injuries and fatalities. Speed limits were imposed and pedestrian refuges (islands) constructed so that village folk could get across the street to see their neighbours. I would not want to be in the middle of the road on a pedestrian refuge sheltering from traffic on both sides ignoring the speed limit. Several times the refuges have been demolished, presumably by someone overtaking and running out of road. On the other hand, there is now this little oasis of relative quiet and safety for making a few photographs. Nikon D2Xs + Nikkor AF-S DX 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VRII lens. Focal length 135mm equivalent to 200mm on a full frame. 200 ISO; aperture priority f/8; 1/125th.

Whilst leafing through an old 'Nova' magazine, it fell open at an unusual angle where the right-hand page was an advertisement for a Volvo car. The left-hand page being a stronger image, I converted it to black and white and increased contrast. However, the best part of the car advertisement - the couple admiring the car - somehow became isolated and more interesting.

Eyelusions. A Fabergé advertising campaign circa 1969. Pure style. Time travel. Fabergé was a brand of cosmetics manufactured between 1964 and 1984.
