The Girl in the Hat Part Two


This is unposed. I don't know who these people are nor what they look like. For all I know they're a phalanx from the Women's Institute on an outing to the National Trust garden at The Courts, Holt. I had pretty much given up on the day and was en route to the tearoom (highly recommended - not only is the cake delicious, they even chase after you when you leave your coat behind). And lo! these people hove into my viewfinder in a way that I could scarcely improve upon even if I were directing their movement and positions. I love the enigmatic air and the curious separation of what I presume is a group (but they might not have been together). The woman in the foreground was reading something. Perhaps it was her diary. Maybe she never travels without her diary. One should always have something sensational to read.
Nikon D2Xs + Tamron AF Zoom 55-200mm f/4-5.6 Di II LD Macro lens at 100mm and as wide as it will go at f/4.2.
The D2X is an old camera now, and has been left far behind in digital technology development. It's not good at high ISO except for black-and-white work where a grainy appearance is wanted. For colour work it remains exceptional at 100 ISO and furthermore provides pictures pretty much free from noise. You might think it unusual to match it with a cheap Tamron 55-200mm lens which is quite the opposite regarding construction and sturdiness, but that lens can deliver nice results whilst sparing you backache from carrying it around. It is small, lightweight, and continues to justify its investment of £30 (used) three years ago.
