I like blue jeans. They're tough and practical. Best of all, a wallet in one of the front pockets stays put. No other trousers seem to offer this absolute assurance. Tamron SP 35mm f/1.8 lens on a Nikon D3s at 200 ISO; 1/250th; f/8.

I have discovered that the Fuji X-E1 struggles with accurate recording of blue colours. I don't recall this was always a fault. Maybe my X-E1 is too old. In addition, I am reminded of why the Nikkor-H 50mm f/2 lens (used to take this picture) enjoys such a good reputation even long after it has gone out of production.

I thought she resembled the painting by Dante Gabriël Rossetti (1874).

Nikon D3s with Tamron SP 35mm f/1.8 Di VC USD lens. 200 ISO; 1/320th; f/9.

An old AF Zoom-Nikkor 35-70mm f/2.8 lens on a Nikon D700. This lens has a macro setting which is actually of some value.

If you keep your clothes as long as I do - and that is for a generation in the case of these jeans - you learn something about clothing sold by supermarkets. This old pair of jeans is made from quite stout denim in comparison to the thin stuff now offered. Additionally, in the old days not only was the cloth of better quality, you got quite a bit more of it. You could live and let rooms in this pair, which suits me fine. You also discover that these days the manufacturers use shorter zips. I won’t offend sensibilities by developing this issue. I will simply state that there are limits and that they may have been exceeded.

This is a double exposure using a Nikon D2Xs. The jeans were initially photographed hanging in my wardrobe; for this image I photographed the original from the computer screen. They form the background to the girl where the stitching nicely follows the contour of her spine. I can't remember who took the girl's photo; it is some time since I first saw and admired it and I hope I will be forgiven for taking a liberty with it here. The whole was processed in Lightroom which provides a dizzying array of options for this sort of thing. A possible entry for the Magnet School of Joinery Digital Collage and Multiple Exposure 2019 Exhibition.

Nikon D700 and AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.4D lens.

Canon EOS 30D + Sigma M42 80-200mm f4.5 - 5.6 zoom lens. Neither of these costs much now. The lens goes for pennies, sometimes literally, on eBay.

Nikon D700 + Nikkor-O.C 35mm f/2 lens.

Fujifilm FinePix S3 Pro + Tamron AF 55-200mm f/4-5.6 Macro Di II LD lens.

Fujifilm FinePix S3 Pro. The lens was either a 50mm or a 20mm (both manual focus Nikkors). Probably the 50mm.

Brannan of Cleator Moor have manufactured and supplied thermometers, pressure gauges and instrumentation since 1913. The instrument in the picture dates from the 1970s. Nikon D700 + Nikkor-O.C 35mm f/2 lens + Minolta Close-Up No.1 supplementary lens.
