Nikon D300s

Nikon D300S + Tamron AF 70-210mm f/2.8 SP LD lens.

Accidental result. Either there was an earth tremor or I had unsteady hands. It is a wide angle setting at 1/80th sec and ought not be blurred. Whatever would Claude Monet make of it? Nikon D300s + Tamron Di II SP AF 17-50mm f/2.8 XR LD Aspherical lens (not the image stabilisation version!)

The October sun has dried the autumn leaves where the wet western wind swept them into the margins of the footbridge over the Biss. But soon they must crumble and nourish the earth for spring. Nikon D300s + Tamron Di II SP AF 17-50mm f/2.8 XR LD Aspherical lens.

Builders' rendezvous.

Finest litter. Only the best will do.

For twenty or thirty years the middle of Trowbridge resembled a bomb site while developers built on the farmland beyond. Then gradually at first, but with ever-increasing haste, the neglected areas were tidied and spirits rose amongst the populace who had endured the squalor and lamented the lack of official interest. Now, there are few old sites left, and even some of the improved areas have been demolished and started over. Ashton Mill is sure to be on someone's list for the wrecking ball, or gentrification

This could be the last time It may be the last time I don't know.

Thanks to J&P Service Centre of Ashton Mill, Trowbridge, for a warm welcome and allowing me to photograph their operation. Nikon D300s + Tamron Di II SP AF 17-50mm f/2.8 XR LD Aspherical lens.
