Fuji S3 Pro and Nikon 18-70mm lens.

Canon EOS 30D and Canon EF 35-105mm f/3.5-4.5 lens. This was the first of the 35-105mm lenses which Canon introduced after switching to the EOS system. Optically it is very similar to the equivalent FD lens which was there at the death of the FD mount, and was well regarded. Later EF versions had '5.6' in their designation. When the light is fading and the limit of ISO is reached, if f/5.6 is all that's left you are in a tight corner.

Now it came to pass that I walked from the elevated section of Maud Heath's causeway at Kellaways towards Langley Burrell. And as I approached Brunel's twin-arched bridge under his railway I espied a vacant sun dress upon the stonework leading to the bridge. Of the occupant there was no sign. She appeared to have wriggled free or simply fallen out. I checked inside to be sure. I learned only that her name was 'Primark'. I left the dress where it was in case she was hiding in the undergrowth. However, the possibility that the sundress had been thrown from the window of a passing train overhead could not be excluded. All this is perfectly true.

Silbury Hill is a part of the complex of Neolithic monuments around Avebury in Wiltshire (which includes the West Kennet long barrow and the Sanctuary). It was built around 2,600 - 2,400 BC, which is later than the other sites in the area. To design, organise, and construct this mound shows the technical skill of the age and reveals strong and prolonged control over labour and resources. At 129 ft high, Silbury Hill is the tallest prehistoric man-made mound in Europe and one of the largest in the world. There is nothing inside it other than chalk, clay, rubble and soil, and there is no big hole to account for the materials used in construction. It would have taken 500 labourers 15 years to complete. The flattened top is 100ft in diameter. The area immediately surrounding the monument is lower than the level of the land around it. The presence of natural springs indicate a moat or reservoir. In fact, the mound sits in a dip in the landscape; it would have been an unusual choice for a strategic defensive site. Perhaps the site itself was important to the builders.

Myrtle is on her second year BTEC combined dressmaking and photography qualification. She funds the course with income from her sideline as an actress in blue movies (see above). Myrtle uses a Toyota sewing machine and a Nikon D50 digital camera. Her ambition is to meet and photograph her idol Billy Idol. All this is entirely true.

Nikon D2Xs and Tamron SP AF 17-50mm f/2.8 at 50mm. This however is a crop, so it's probably akin to 100mm or more.
