The river is visible from the railings on the right-hand side of the street, but not so on the left-hand side. That is because there are buildings on the bridge. Similar exists in Bath and Lincoln, where there are multi-storied shops built on the bridge. Nikon D40 and 18-200mm lens.

A secondhand Canon PowerShot compact camera bought for no other reason than it would fit into a coat pocket. When framing this scene the camera slipped just as I pressed the shutter. I've posted the picture before, but not in B&W, which fascinates me more and more these days.

Nikon D2Xs and 50mm f/1.4 AF-D lens. The D2Xs has a hi-speed crop feature which doubles the field of view on the lens, so the experience was akin to 100mm. Given the luxury of getting several test shots, I eventually settled on f/5. Anything faster than that gave no form at all to the passing lorries. Another time I might try f/8. The raindrops could do with being sharper.

Fujifilm X-E1 and Fujinon XF 35mm f/1.4 R lens.

Camera: Fujifilm X-E1

Nikon D2Xs with a Nikkor 28mm f/2 AI lens, made circa 1981, and said by Bjørn Rørslett to be excellent for DX, FX, and on film. Rørslett commented that the lens offers outstandingly sharp images and these are produced at all aperture settings from f/2 to f/8. Rørslett found it unusually resistant to flare and ghosting and eminently suitable for shooting directly into the sun.

Nikon D3s + Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 AF-D lens.

The height of walls is proportionate to the wealth behind them. This is Seend, Wiltshire.

Nikon D40 + Nikkor 18-70mm lens. The D40 was one of Nikon's early digital SLR cameras and was made from 2006 - 2010. The sensor is a CCD type made by Sony. You can't get this type now and to my eye it has a nice warm character that CMOS sensors lack. The nearest comparison I can draw is my preference for Fuji Reala film over the cheaper colour negative types in the 1990s. But Reala was expensive and I had other demands on my cash at the time. Happily, by way of compensation, the D40 can now be bought quite cheaply. Mine had 566 shutter actuations and came boxed as new for under £60. It weighs about 18 ounces. It's a lot of fun for little money.

I used a Canon EOS 30D with a Pentacon 50mm f/1.8 lens mounted via an EOS - M42 adapter. The lens came with a Praktica MTL5 camera and the two cost me £12.50. The Pentacon f/1.8 50mm is the last version of the Meyer-Optik "Oreston" f/1.8 50mm. It performs better than I had remembered, notwithstanding that using it on the EOS 30D was hopeless for metering the light and I fell back on the "Sunny 16" rule. I was also glad to have Lightroom in which to edit the original RAW image.

Seend needs a by-pass but the land slopes away dramatically to the south and thus options are limited. Anyway, it would only have the effect of inflating already eye-watering property prices in the village. Nikon D700 + AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.4D lens. Cropped quite a lot.
