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.

If I won the lottery - which is improbable for several reasons, not least that I never buy a ticket - I would establish and finance a Campaign to Prevent the State from Promoting False Hope Through Gambling. Shot with a Chinon 55mm f/1.4 lens.

Very small file due to cropping and processing what remained as a silhouette. I thought it resembled a human figure but perhaps it is just a close up of a tree. Canon EOS 30D + Chinon 55mm f/1.4 lens.
