The seemingly inexorable decline of these gates is a subject of morbid fascination. People pass by hundreds of times daily noticing to varying degrees the ineffable beauty of their final days, wondering if some human intervention will change the scene for better or worse. Meanwhile, I am compelled by forces I do not understand to record the changes, tiny though they be. Canon EOS 30D + 18-55mm kit lens. ISO 200; 45mm (72mm equivalent). 1/250th at f/13.

The site of which this is part is under redevelopment. How much longer will this wonderful example of decay remain available? I keep expecting it to be changed, or worse, to vanish altogether. As I remarked of this place on an earlier occasion, the seemingly inexorable decline of these doors is a subject of morbid fascination. Canon EOS 30D + 18-55mm kit lens. ISO 160; 35mm (56mm equivalent). 1/60th at f/7.1. I'm not sure that a camera introduced in February 2006 - and then only a warm-over of a model dating from February 2004 - has any business performing as well as it does. And the kit lens is supposed to be nothing special if you read the reviews but given enough light it does quite well.

Nikon D50 + AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G at f/8. You probably can't fail if (a) you are in the Lake District with a camera, and (b) the camera has a 35mm prime lens (or, in the case of full frame, a 50mm prime lens).

I used a Canon EOS 30D with a Pentacon 50mm f/1.8 lens mounted via an EOS - M42 adapter. The lens came with a Praktica MTL5 camera and the two cost me £12.50. The Pentacon f/1.8 50mm is the last version of the Meyer-Optik "Oreston" f/1.8 50mm. It performs better than I had remembered, notwithstanding that using it on the EOS 30D was hopeless for metering the light and I fell back on the "Sunny 16" rule. I was also glad to have Lightroom in which to edit the original RAW image.

Nikon D2Xs and AF-S DX Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VRII lens. Focal length 112mm (full frame equivalent 168mm).

Nikon D2Xs and AF-S DX Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VRII lens. Focal length 42mm (full frame equivalent 63mm).

I seldom make a photograph that I remember vividly but I quite like this one.

Canon EF 35-105mm f/3.5-4.5 lens on a Canon EOS 30D camera. ISO 400; f/11; 1/640th; lens at 82mm (field of view equivalent 131mm). I was not following the Sunny 16 rule but I guess it would have worked for this situation.

Nikon D300s + Tokina SD 50-135mm f/2.8 DX AT-X Pro lens.

Springfield House was demolished in 1958 to make way for housing development. Only the gate piers at the town end of Springfield Park survive. They are grade II listed.
