Fluffy clouds in the blue sky. Golden sand. The sea shimmers. The beach is deserted.

According to Wikipedia, Richmond is a value brand of tobacco cigarettes re-introduced into UK markets in 1999. The brand is in competition at the lower end of the market, against value UK cigarette brands such as Mayfair, Sovereign and Park Road. Richmond's variants Superkings and King Size are the fourth and fifth top-selling cigarettes in the UK respectively. The empty packs provide a colourful and attractive addition to the natural flora, a fact understood and followed by many users.

According to Wikipedia, Sterling is the largest selling cheap brand in the UK and is the eighth biggest selling brand of cigarettes in the UK. They appear to disgust their users so comprehensively that they cannot wait to put the empty packets in a dedicated litter receptacle. Here, a pack has become a part of Autumn's rich and colourful tapestry. Photographed with a Carl Zeiss Jena 50mm M42 f/2.8 lens on a Canon EOS 20D camera.

A test shot which tends to prove my suspicion that the Nikkor AF 24mm f/2.8 performs better on a Nikon D50 than it does on a D2Xs. 1600 ISO. F/6.3. 1/160th.

I made this photograph by holding a Carl Zeiss Jena 50mm Tessar lens tight up against a Nikon D50. It's a bit Heath Robinson, but it is possible to get a picture via this technique. This is straight out of the camera.

Garry Winogrand said, "All things are photographable". He considered that photography was not about the thing being photographed, it was about how that thing looked photographed. I find that attitude refreshing. Tea is also refreshing. Photographed with a Nikon D50 and Nikon 28-80mm f/3.3-5.6 G lens.

The Nikkor-P/Nikkor H Auto 300mm f/4.5 telephoto lens was in production between 1964 and 1977. It was part of a range of automatic-diaphragm lenses designed to complement the Nikon F SLR camera. During its production run, it was changed in 1969 from a five element/four group construction to six elements and five groups, and became the Nikkor-H (‘P’ stood for ‘Pente’, indicating five elements; ‘H’ stood for ‘Hex’, indicating six). The revision improved image quality considerably. This was a popular lens amongst Nikon users of that period, and remains sought-after on the second-hand market as an economic way of acquiring a 300mm prime lens of decent quality. It is of peerless construction and measures 79 x 202mm (3 x 7.95in) and weighs 990g (2.1lb). The lens extends during focusing, almost doubling in length. It takes 72mm filters and has a built-in telescopic hood which provides approximately 45mm more length. There is a scalloped focussing ring, characteristic of most so-called "chrome barrel" Nikkors. It is equipped with two tripod mounting threads: one for ‘landscape’ photos and one for ‘portrait’. The focussing throw is 140 degrees, making it handle relatively well.
