Fujifilm Finepix S3 Pro with Nikkor 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5 lens.

Mount Pleasant, Bradford on Avon. Nikon D50 and Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 AF-D lens. The field of view using the 50mm on the D50 was equivalent to 75mm.

Nikon D50 and Nikkor 24mm f/2.8 AF lens, giving a field of view akin to 35mm on full frame. Aside from the excellent colour rendition provided by the D50, it was the last of the entry-level digital Nikons capable of providing the automatic focus mechanism for screw-driven AF Nikkors.

Communication Ancient & Modern. Even when I owned a better camera than the Nikon D50 I continued to use the lesser of the two. It was light in weight and I didn't fret over what might happen to it - they were easily replaced at little cost on the secondhand market. Nothing ever did happen to it, though. It was quite a sturdy instrument. The pictures it made had good colour characteristics. People ascribe this to its CCD sensor. That type of sensor had been superseded by CMOS technology which initially produced a flatter, slightly clinical, sort of picture. I rather liked what came out of the D50 and years later bought a very inexpensive D40 which was specified with the same CCD sensor. Manufacturers preferred CMOS largely because it was cheaper to produce and it seemed to take some years before CMOS technology had a bit of photographic soul about it. Some might argue that it's still inferior. The photo was taken with a Nikkor 24mm f/2.8 AF lens, which behaved like a 35mm focal length on the crop sensor of the D50.

I used a Nikkor AF-D 50mm f/1.4 on a Nikon D50 to make this picture.

This was taken with a Canon PowerShot SX120 compact camera. It had an anti-shake feature which was useful if your subject kept still, less so if they were moving. I never thought it was intuitive in use, but I could say the same of all Canon digital cameras, and they just don't suit me as well as some others. Nor was the size of the SX120 exactly pocketable, but at least it was light to carry and unobtrusive in use.

The street name "Shambles" originates from an open-air slaughterhouse and meat market.

Some post boxes have "Post Office" above the slot, like this one, whereas others have "Royal Mail". Royal Mail post boxes manufactured since 1994 carry the wording "Royal Mail", normally above the aperture (lamp boxes) or on the door (pillar boxes). Before this date all post boxes carried the wording "Post Office". Nikon D50 + AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G lens at 30mm and f/9.

It dawned on me that a square crop and black and white rendition might improve this photograph which I originally posted some while back.

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.
