How it got to be underneath a railway line by the side of a road going under a bridge? Possibility Number 1: It became disconnected from a distant washing line and blew here on a wind. Possibility Number 2: It was thrown from a passing car. Possibility Number 3: It was thrown from a passing train. Possibility Number 4: Primark plan to open a new shop in Langley Burrell. You may be able to think of other possibilities.

The new dress, as yet uncompleted, was shot as a JPG, at 1/320th and f/4 with ISO set at 800, using a Nikon D700, with a Nikkor-H Auto 85mm f/1.8 lens. For many years I searched sporadically for a Nikkor-H 85mm f/1.8 lens which had been factory-adapted to the new Nikon AI system introduced in 1977. The company never offered the lens in the AI range because they had a more compact f/2 lens ready to go. Opinions vary over which was the better lens, but there is strong affection for the original. At long last I found one for sale; cosmetically beaten up but still functional, as you might expect of a Nikkor lens of the 1964-77 period.

The occupant was elsewhere when her dress was discovered and photographed.

The lady of this house enjoys reading, makes her own clothes, and is particular over her laundry.

Now it came to pass that I walked from the elevated section of Maud Heath's causeway at Kellaways towards Langley Burrell. And as I approached Brunel's twin-arched bridge under his railway I espied a vacant sun dress upon the stonework leading to the bridge. Of the occupant there was no sign. She appeared to have wriggled free or simply fallen out. I checked inside to be sure. I learned only that her name was 'Primark'. I left the dress where it was in case she was hiding in the undergrowth. However, the possibility that the sundress had been thrown from the window of a passing train overhead could not be excluded. All this is perfectly true.

Her dress needs to be shortened, or the hem will be ragged and dirty in no time. Perhaps she does not care. Nikon D90, Nikon 55-200mm lens.

AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED lens at 26mm on a Nikon D90. That lens is truly sharp. Significant editing in several applications and a massive crop, the latter turning this into a very small file. Yet it has been instructive in several ways, especially in opening up possibilities for future projects.

I could understand a pair of tights, or even a brassiere going AWOL, but a dress? Whatever is the country coming to?

Caught on brambles alongside a little-used footpath. Perhaps it became a refugee from some nearby washing line when a gale blew. I looked inside to check it was not occupied and discovered a 'Primark' label, hence the unusual precision in the title. Nikon D2Xs and Nikkor AF-S 70-300mm lens at 105mm. 400 ISO; f/6; 1/80th.

Fujifilm FinePix S3 Pro and Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 lens. 1600 ISO; 1/90th; f/4.8. Available light.

Some further nips and tucks to do yet. Nikon D50 and Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 lens.
