Norton St. Philip, Somerset.

Post boxes are interesting, but only up to a point. Of themselves they are simply designed and practical containers with a minimum of ornament and a uniform distinctive colour. Where they are can be interesting of course. Notwithstanding the above, I have nevertheless created an album devoted to my not inconsiderable output of post box pictures. I had no idea until now just how fixated I had become. Nikon D3s + Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 AF-D lens. I think the 50mm lenses are the best for photographing post boxes. Indeed, they may be the best for photographing any subject.

The 'ROYAL MAIL' legend first appeared on letter boxes in the early 1990s; prior to this letter boxes had the words 'POST OFFICE' cast onto them. The change was prompted by the separation of Post Office Counters Limited and Royal Mail as independent companies. Nikon D3s + Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 AF-D lens.

Nikon D2Xs + Nikkor 50mm f/2 AI lens.

Nikon D700 + Nikkor 28mm f/2 AI lens.
