Another month, another lens. Kathleen Scott's sculpture "Ad Astra". Pentax K-3, SMC Pentax "K" 150mm f/4 lens. Converted in Silver Efex Pro 2.

A Dinky toy based on the TV series UFO. If you actually watch the series, these ground vehicles are rather different! Pentax K-3, SMC Pentax "K" 150mm f/4 lens.

One of those days. I almost settled for this image of raindrops on the window. Pentax K-3, SMC Pentax "K" 150mm f/4 lens.

A detail from the front of a 1959 Vauxhall PA Velox. Pentax K-3, SMC Pentax "K" 150mm f/4 lens.

It was a wet a dreary day and the light was awful. It took some heavy processing to get even a half passable image. Pentax K-3, SMC Pentax "K" 150mm f/4, processed in Lightroom 4.4 and Silver Efex 2.

View from the marketplace in St Albans past the Clock Tower (on the right) to the abbey tower. Pentax K-3, SMC Pentax "K" 150mm f/4 lens.

Whenever I try one of the pentaxforums "Single in..." challenges, I always take at least one photo of the statue of Gandhi in Tavistock Square. Pentax K-3, SMC Pentax "K" 150mm f/4 lens.

The rail-based cart hasn't moved in years and looking at the state of the rails, I doubt it will work again. Whitwell watercress beds, Hertsfordshire. Pentax K-3, SMC Pentax "K" 150mm f/4 lens.

A very late night "safety" shot of some dahlias (and gladioli) that my wife has grown. Pentax K-3, SMC Pentax "K" 150mm f/4 lens.

Spotted this tiny little toadstool in the local wood. Sadly, the surroundings are too busy to make a good image. Pentax K-3, SMC Pentax "K" 150mm f/4 lens with Pentax No. 1 and No. 3 extension tubes.

I liked the winter light on the church tower. Perhaps I should clone out the phone wires! Pentax K-3, SMC Pentax "K" 150mm f/4.

Went out for a cycle ride this afternoon and the light was fantastic. The sun breaking through the dramatic clouds lent itself to several photos. I almost wished I had gone out on the motorbike with a tripod and a full set of camera gear! Pentax K-3, SMC Pentax "K" 150mm f/4 lens.

A very boring "safety" shot for today's submission. I went for a longish (for me) cycle ride and kept meaning to stop and take photos but unlike yesterday it was grey, drizzly and very flat light. Oh well, there is bound to be at least one day in the month where there isn't anything interesting. Pentax K-3, SMC Pentax "K" 150mm f/4 lens.

"Heather Phillipson’s vast physical and digital sculpture tops the Fourth Plinth with a giant swirl of whipped cream, a cherry, a fly and a drone that transmits a live feed of Trafalgar Square. Entitled THE END it suggests both exuberance and unease, responding to Trafalgar Square as a site of celebration and protest, that is shared with other forms of life. The live feed of Trafalgar Square picked up by the drone’s camera is visible on a dedicated website www.theend.today giving a sculpture’s eye perspective." www.london.gov.uk/what-we-do/arts-and-culture/current-culture-projects/fourth-plinth-trafalgar-square/whats-fourth-plinth-now
