The Stones
Avebury, October 2018. Canon EOS 30D and EF 35-135mm f/4-5.6 USM lens; f/11; much processed and changed to B&W.
Photographers face a challenge at Avebury stone circle. The site is vast and Alexander Keiller's ambitious project resulted, inter alia, in concrete plinths being positioned where stones once stood in neolithic times. That helps visitors to visualise the layout of the ancients, but making a photograph without a 20th century plinth or two in the composition is not always possible at certain locations. Hence this close focus photograph.
The Canon EF 35-135mm f/4-5.6 USM was introduced quite soon after Canon changed to the EOS cameras and EF mount. Thus it was originally designed to go with full frame film rather than early APS-C digital. It was available new from 1990 until 1997. On a cropped sensor Canon it provides a field of view of 55-215mm.

Fun for me to see this also, as I was in Avebury during my last visit to England in 2022. Now I need to go back and look at my photos to see if I caught the concrete plinths - probably since I was unaware of that at the time.
Ah, for a full frame camera! I recently looked at a semi professional point and shoot digital camera, and not only was it not full frame, but both the view finder and the viewer had so much information over the image itself that I don't know how anyone could possibly really see what they were taking a picture of. Point being, you ahve a really nice digital to work with - and I love your translation to B&W. I often struggle with getting digital to have any B&W worthy of sharing.
