Originally this photo was in colour and looked uncertain. Conversion to black and white made it more confident. I took this photograph with a Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/3.5 AI lens on a Nikon D700. The Micro-Nikkor was manufactured circa 1978, give or take a year either way. I bought it for £65 in 2011. I don't know how many previous owners it had had, but it has survived many of my periodic lens culls because it is such fun to use. The camera settings were 800 ISO, 1/160th, and f/4 in aperture priority. Although shot as a JPG I nonetheless used Lightroom to convert and boost here and there, plus cropping to 8 x 10" format. Image no. 27,316 on this D700.

Myrtle is on her second year BTEC combined dressmaking and photography qualification. She funds the course with income from her sideline as an actress in blue movies (see above). Myrtle uses a Toyota sewing machine and a Nikon D50 digital camera. Her ambition is to meet and photograph her idol Billy Idol. All this is entirely true.
