I like the light falling on these very ordinary objects for much of the day. Here I was using a 50mm f/1.4 Nikkor on a teleconverter giving a focal length of 80mm. As it was on an APS-C camera the field of view was akin to 120mm. I was always attracted to telephoto experiences.

Nikon D3s + Tamron SP 35mm f/1.8 Di VC USD lens. I used Lightroom to intensify black and white, and desaturate colours other than yellow. It's hackneyed and trite and I shouldn't be proud of it. I'll stand out in the rain as penance.

Nikon D3s + Tamron AF 70-210mm f/2.8 SP LD 67D lens. Shutter priority. 135mm; f/2.8; 1/500th; 400 ISO. Cropped. Enhanced in Lightroom.

Nikon D2Xs + Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 AI-S lens. Processed in Lightroom. A Limbo Lockdown Production™. A while ago I bought a Nikkor-S.C 50mm f/1.4 lens (made circa 1973) from a bloke on eBay. The results were very attractive but the focussing mechanism was stiff and unlikely to mend itself, so I returned it with a tart comment. Had he set the selling price at a lower level commensurate with the eventual repair costs I would have had no complaint. I noticed he later sold it to another mug without reducing the price or amending the description. I hankered after the optical quality of the lens however, and bought the later AI-S version from a trader whom I trust. The optical characteristics are not as engaging as the old S.C version, but it's close.
