Canon EOS 30D and Sigma 80-200mm f/4.5-5.6 lens (M42 mount).

Count the signs. Imagine trying to read them all as you negotiate this junction. It is by no means the worst example of information overload wrought chiefly by local highway authorities in the UK. And this is part of the Georgian City of Bath.

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.

The plastic A/M slider has broken off my venerable Chinon 55mm f/1.4 lens dating from circa 1976 (a £10 upgrade when bought with a Chinon CX). To mark this milestone in its decline I have edited an earlier photograph made with this lens presumably wide open. I ought to take contemporaneous notes but it seems a nerdy thing to be doing for a cool guy like me. Non-contemporaneous notes (the cool type of notes); The photograph was taken through a gap in a hedge (green bits). Beyond the hedge was (and still is) a busy four-lane road (blurred bits). Beyond that again is an old wool mill, imposing and built of stone (white bits). There is an inexplicable red bit. My best guess is that it was a red lorry. The leaves in their final days leave me feeling melancholy. If I were not a photographer, I should scarcely have registered their existence.

Nikon D3s + Nikkor 20mm f/3.5 AI-S lens.

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.

Wet and windy afternoon with a Chinon 55mm f/1.4 lens on a Canon EOS 30D camera. All manual, including exposure.

Stuck in a traffic jam I noticed a pattern. Nikon D700 + Nikon 75-150mm f/3.5 series E zoom lens.
