Selection

I seldom make a photograph that I remember vividly but I quite like this one.

35mm Nikkor-O.C f/2 lens on a Nikon D2Xs. ISO 100; f/2, 1/90th.

The binding of the book of recipes was repaired with this fragment of cloth which is falling away for want of fresh glue. Nikon D2Xs + Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/3.5 AI lens.

Photograph of unknown girl bought on eBay. Photograph photographed and processed. Processed photograph processed again. And again. Image then put on ipernity. Unrelated end-of-strip negatives superimposed on computer monitor showing photograph on ipernity, then photographed. New photograph processed and then put on ipernity again. I doubt I am finished with it yet. Nikon D700 + Tamron SP 35mm F1.8 Di VC lens.

One, two, Buckle my shoe; Three, four, Knock at the door; Five, six, Pick up sticks; Seven, eight, Lay them straight: Nine, ten, A big fat hen ...

Canon EOS 30D + 18-55mm kit lens.

Nikon D700 + Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/3.5 AI lens. Deliberately under-exposed by two-thirds of a stop and with the lower section cast into even deeper shadow using the grad filter tool in Lightroom.

This photograph was made near a Magnet Joinery store. It has been processed in Lightroom. It was photographed with a Chinon 55mm f/1.4 lens on a Canon EOS 30D camera.

Photography and graffiti are hobbies with some similarities. I have published an article on ipernity expounding this belief. Graffito has enlivened this photograph. Without the embellishment of the drainpipe, the picture would be mundane. Carl Zeiss Jena 50mm f/2.8 lens on a Canon EOS 30D. An all-manual experience.

Nikon D300s and Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/3.5 AI lens.

Nikon D700 + Nikkor 20mm f/3.5 AI-S lens.

The streets of England are squalid. It is a national disgrace. Our politicians are weak-willed and pusillanimous. It was not always thus. Canon EOS 30D and EF 35-135mm f/4-5.6 USM lens. The settings for this photograph were ISO 200; focal length 65mm; speed 1/200th; aperture f/8. I am astounded by the clarity.

Photographed in Avebury, Wiltshire, with a Nikon D700 and an AF Zoom-Nikkor 70-210mm f/4 lens. This lens was made for less than a year during 1986-87 and replaced by a cheaper and inferior product lacking a constant aperture across its 70-210mm zoom.

Avebury, Wiltshire. Nikon D700 + Nikkor 20mm f/3.5 AI-S lens.

This and other sculptures by Ruth Moilliet are currently on show in The Courts Garden at Holt, Wiltshire. I used an AF Zoom-Nikkor 35-70mm f/2.8 lens made in the late 1980s on a Nikon D700 camera. The old 35-70mm has a macro feature which is handy for this kind of shot.

The Tamron 35mm f/1.8 VC performs well at this close-up stuff. f/6.3; 1/60th. Nikon D700.

Southern Inner Circle at Avebury, Wilts. The cloudless sky and the long shadows provided by the October sunlight prompted me to under-expose the stones in the southern inner circle for dramatic effect. Canon EF35-135/4-5.6 USM lens at 125mm on a Canon EOS 30D in manual mode. ISO 200; f/9; 1/400th.

Depth of field achieved with a Canon EF 35-135mm f/4-5.6 USM lens on a Canon EOS 30D. The focal length was 135mm; ISO 200; f/5.6; speed 1/800th. This lens was the kit lens for the EOS 10S in 1990.
