Fujifilm X-E1 with Fujinon 35mm f/1.4 R lens. Processed from RAW in Lightroom. It was a bright cold winter day. At 800, the ISO was much too high and gave exposure of 1/420th at f/13.

On this day in history: I travelled across the county and part-exchanged a Benbo Trekker tripod for a Nikon MB-D10 grip to fit my Nikon D700. Returning, I stopped at Avebury and took a few photographs, using just two lenses: 24mm and 50mm. This one was shot with the 24mm. Shooting with the D700 was a bit like when the automatic focus multi-mode instruments came in during the late 1980s except it was digital and the AF was much better. It was like Christmas and birthday and holiday all rolled together.

This is a small and utilitarian church built c.1800 to replace a dilapidated structure beyond repair. The only ornament of note is an octagonal cupola of almost staggering beauty in contrast to the ordinariness of the church beneath it. Each long side has three windows with perfect symmetry of alignment. The narrow ends provide a door to the west and a window to the east, the latter being usual in church architecture. The church is invariably locked when I visit Kellaways. I don't even bother trying the door any more. Nikon D2Xs and Vivitar 28mm f/2.8 Close Focus Wide Angle lens. Distortion City despite the assistance of processing software. 100 ISO.

Nikon D700 + Nikkor 28mm f/2 AI lens. f/4; 1/125th.

I photographed this vandalised telephone kiosk on Sunday, 7th September, 2014, in a part of Bradford on Avon called Mount Pleasant. For reasons I do not remember I had the camera set in shutter priority with a set speed of 1/30th second. The lens was a Nikkor AF 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5 at 48mm. This lens has no VR and so I must have been using too low a shutter speed just to live dangerously. Or maybe I had simply overlooked the setting as usual - whatever the reason it resulted in an aperture of f/13.

Carl Zeiss Jena 50mm f/2.8 lens on a Canon EOS 30D. An all-manual experience. I had but a single focal length to work with on this occasion: 50mm on the 30D provides a field of view equivalent to 80mm on full frame or 35mm film camera. Had I had a standard zoom lens attached instead I would have used a wider aspect. There is something to be said for the challenge of one prime lens.
