A New Dress

11 Jul 2024 1 85
The new dress, as yet uncompleted, was shot as a JPG, at 1/320th and f/4 with ISO set at 800, using a Nikon D700, with a Nikkor-H Auto 85mm f/1.8 lens. For many years I searched sporadically for a Nikkor-H 85mm f/1.8 lens which had been factory-adapted to the new Nikon AI system introduced in 1977. The company never offered the lens in the AI range because they had a more compact f/2 lens ready to go. Opinions vary over which was the better lens, but there is strong affection for the original. At long last I found one for sale; cosmetically beaten up but still functional, as you might expect of a Nikkor lens of the 1964-77 period.

The Girl Who Fell Out

27 May 2024 5 4 110
Now it came to pass that I walked from the elevated section of Maud Heath's causeway at Kellaways towards Langley Burrell. And as I approached Brunel's twin-arched bridge under his railway I espied a vacant sun dress upon the stonework leading to the bridge. Of the occupant there was no sign. She appeared to have wriggled free or simply fallen out. I checked inside to be sure. I learned only that her name was 'Primark'. I left the dress where it was in case she was hiding in the undergrowth. However, the possibility that the sundress had been thrown from the window of a passing train overhead could not be excluded. All this is perfectly true.

Her dress needs to be shortened, or the hem will be ragged and dirty in no time. Perhaps she does not care. Nikon D90, Nikon 55-200mm lens.
