The Limbo Connection's photos with the keyword: Nikkor 35-70mm f/2.8 AF-D

Photographed using a Nikkor 35-70mm f/2.8 AF-D lens. This lens has a macro mode as an extra feature. Macro is usable only at its 35mm setting and only with manual focus. It's not as good as a proper macro lens, but it's not bad either, and saves carrying a macro lens in addition.

It was a privilege to be asked by the young lady in the middle to take some photographs of their visit to Lacock Abbey using her mobile phone, and at the end I asked for permission to take a picture of them using my own camera. Nikon D700 + Nikkor 35-70mm f/2.8 AF-D lens.

William Sharington bought Lacock Abbey from the Crown following the Dissolution of the Monasteries. The house was built over the old cloisters and its main rooms are on the first floor. In the spot you can see in the foreground stood the chapel used for worship by the nuns. Sharington had it demolished to provide building material for his planned alterations. 1/400th at f/13.

It's only in the winter, when the framework is bare, that you realise how authentic this is in comparison to the more common garden canes people use to grow their scarlet runners. But not everybody has the luxury of choice. Nikon D700 and Nikkor 35-70mm f/2.8 AF-D lens.

The Nikon 35-70mm f/2.8 is only a 2 x zoom. Successors gained more wide-angle capability without losing the constant f/2.8. They incidentally cost a lot more and increased in physical dimensions and weight. The picture of the red check table cloth was made at 35mm focal length and f/2.8 aperture.

Strange things interest me. The past. The future. But seldom the present. For example: would my claim that the three Cream albums could fulfil all my musical needs if I were stranded on a desert island be proved if tested? Camera bags: a bit of a personal fetish. Typography. Jennifer Connelly's nose job. Not gardening, though.
