My combination for this week will be the D300 and AF-S Nikkor 35/1.8G ED.

 

If anyone else wants to shoot any single lens with me for a week, feel free to post what you get in this thread.

 

I'll shoot with normal primes this month, but you can use whatever you want.

I went out and sat a few this AM, using my D750, Nikkor 105 macro.

These are all shot at the big square in the centre of town, imaginatively enough named "Stora torget" or  "The big square".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

THe architecture around the square is quite varied in style.
