The full colour version - and uncropped (save for minor straightening) - of an unremarkable street photograph taken in Spring 2016 which has until now languished on a hard drive. Heed the wise words of Old Owl who counsels not to delete photographs too readily*. I like all kinds of aspects of this picture which I failed to appreciate at the time it happened. I even like the lamp post because it helped me place the location to the Antica Restaurant in Argyle Street near Pulteney Bridge. I don't know if it's any good; I try not to get hungry in Bath on account of the inflated tourist level prices. The tall woman appears to be carrying someone's coat and the msf brochure in her hand suggests she and her companions are involved in some way with the Mid Somerset Festival of music which runs events at this time of year in several venues including the nearby Central United Reformed Church and the Guildhall. (I was entirely ignorant of this at the time). The diners inside the restaurant provide another focus although it lacks any meaningful visual clues other than the time of day (just after 2 pm on Wednesday 16th March, 2016). And then there was this photographer in the locality ... Fujifilm FinePix S3 Pro + Tamron 55-200mm f/4-5.6 lens. * Old Owl has remarked elsewhere, "I'm constantly surprised at the way we can, as we gain experience, look at a photograph we deemed to be a failure and discover a picture worth creating. This is also a damned good reason to never delete so-called failures."

Fujifilm FinePix S3 Pro + Tamron 55-200mm f/4-5.6 lens. This is a severe crop resulting in a very small file, made smaller still as a result of conversion to black and white. The Tamron 55-200mm f/4-5.6 lens is not bad. There is no image stabilisation, but that would have been no use here with people on the move, and its omission means a cheaper price and less tech to go wrong. Very good value on the used market. The building houses the Antica Restaurant, Bath.

Blast!
