Woods Near Bowden Park B&W Edit

Nikon D700 with AF Zoom-Nikkor 35-70mm f/2.8 lens at 70mm f/8.
My experience of the AF Zoom-Nikkor 35-70mm f/2.8 is that no matter if I used it on full frame, as here, or APS-C, as on a Nikon D2Xs, I would almost always have it at 70mm (as here). On rare occasions when I did not have it at full telephoto, I used it at the widest it would go, ie 35mm.
This is not unusual. Other photographers have reported that with a zoom lens they are either fully at one end or the other.
I reduced the contrast and clarity of the photo in Lightroom. I thought it looked boring otherwise. I'm not entirely confident that it actually looks interesting now. Hey-ho.
