Nikon D700 + Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 AI-S lens.

East Somerset Railway, Cranmore. Nikon D40 and AF-S Nikkor 28-200mm VR lens. Shot at a focal length of 70mm (multiply that by 1.5 for the equivalent field of view for a full-frame camera).

The old HST 125s no longer ply this route. I rather miss them. If you want to see them now, Great Western Railway retain 24 powercars and 48 carriages to form 11 four-carriage sets for use on local services between Cardiff and Penzance. Additionally, 26 HST sets, each with four or five carriages, have been assigned to Abellio ScotRail and will operate on services from Edinburgh and Glasgow to Aberdeen and Inverness. Nikon D2Xs at 100 ISO. Tamron 35mm f/1.8 lens at f/8. 1/125th.

Nikon D2Xs + Nikkor 85mm f/1.8 AF-D lens. 100 ISO; 1/160th; f/5.6.

I photographed this with a venerable Nikon D2Xs. Using it is such a pleasurable experience that I prefer it to more modern and capable kit. I try to limit it to 100 ISO (as here) and certainly no more than 400 ISO because high ISO is definitely not where it excels, whereas 100 ISO produces nice images. Years ago we used 100 ISO film and managed alright, and so that's how I approach the D2Xs now. Here it is partnered with a Tamron 35mm f/1.8 lens at f/11. A 35mm lens on the D2Xs is akin to using a 50mm lens on a film SLR of what is now classified as 'full frame'. Shutter speed 1/250th. There was plenty of light until the storm broke about an hour later.

Agricultural machine made by L. R. Knapp and Co Ltd, of Clanfield, Oxfordshire, which was established in 1745. The company made seed and manure drills and manure distributors - I don't know if this is an example of one of those machines. If it is, I can't see how it would function. Perhaps it is incomplete. These slow-rusting relics are dotted about all over the landscape, but each year become fewer as land is tidied up. When they first fell into disuse the workers who had farmed with them could tell you their function and operation. Now that knowledge has unfortunately all but vanished. Photographed between Crummock Water and Buttermere in Cumbria. Nikon D50, 35mm f1.8 DX lens.

Photographed from the towpath of the Kennet and Avon canal. Nikon D2Xs and Tokina SD 50-135mm f/2.8 DX AT-X Pro lens.
