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.

Typographically it is bad practice to run letters vertically. But is a sign even necessary? The handle has a recess. No recess would be necessary if the door opened inwards. Furthermore, the telephone kiosk is so small that a door opening inwards would scarcely allow an occupant the space needed to let it close. I guess a committee of Post Office Telephones agreed to this sign many years ago. Their work was misguided. And since these kiosks were introduced, many non- English speakers have arrived for whom 'Pull' is meaningless.

In deference to the unique character of Lacock village, their public telephone kiosk was once painted in a grey colour, but now the standard red colour has replaced it. Cosinon 135mm f/2.8 lens on a Canon EOS 40D digital camera.

East Somerset Railway. The Nikkor 28mm f/3.5 AI lens provides a field of view of 42 mm on a Nikon DX SLR. All the characteristics of a wide angle lens, such as plenty of depth-of-field, are nevertheless preserved. The f/3.5 maximum aperture is a bit slow but on the plus side performance is good even wide open and impressive when stopped down. The advantage of using it on a crop sensor is that you are experiencing only the centre performance and not much of the fuzzy edges. It's interesting and fun to use a lens which for all practical purposes behaves like something between 35mm and 50mm lenses on a full frame camera. Nikon D2Xs + Nikkor 28mm f/3.5 AI lens.
