The Limbo Connection's photos with the keyword: leading lines

Wednesday, 12th March, 2014. Mid-afternoon and a bright spring day, yet quiet considering that Wells is a favourite place for tourists. Too early in the year, with weather being unpredictable and plans better laid for later days.

The Pentax Optio S30 digital compact from 2004 was a revelation. I never researched how to use it properly but fortunately it did most things automatically. It was small, sturdy, and in my pocket, and I never bothered with film again.

I used an AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6G lens on a Nikon D50 to take this scene. The lens was at 35mm which would be 50mm on full frame. Despite its versatility, I got rid of this lens because I thought there were better alternatives. Given how little it weighed I rather missed it, but the distortion on a picture like this was bad and took some cleaning up in post processing. I probably overdid the post processing a bit in cropping, accentuating the shadows and reducing the saturation, but as I liked the result I have posted it nonetheless. 1/500th at f/11. I forgot the D50 had been set at 1600 ISO but it seemed to behave itself whatever ISO was selected.

Photographed with a Nikon D700 and Nikkor 20mm f/3.5 AI-S lens.
