My combination for this week will be the D700 and AF Nikkor 85/1.8 D

I will keep on trying to see the 28°30' angle of view rather than the 23°20' that comes so easy for me.

 

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

Today's weather wasn't too inspiring...

First, a crane before dawn.

A wet road.

A bleak moor with artwork.

That's what I got today.

I'll start today's set with a pair that *will* divide you into three camps... Some will see the strengths in the second, some will like the first and some will cry out – Why can't Peter turn out his old style of documentary botanicals! Please comment if you want to.

New-to-me  in August: Nikkor 18 - 200mm lens - seems like cheating calling it "one lens" but no longer wishing I had the other lens because this one is too close or can't zoom in enough! (now I should search out resizing photos thread because, wow, big!)

No photos today. Rain all day and no direction in what little light we had midday. Not enough rain for flash experiments either...

ARRRRGGGGGG! PETER!!! 

 

Yea, just kidding...I liked both for different reasons although I preferred the first....

 

Question - is there something symbolic regarding the locks or is there any reasoning behind why they are there?

Couples write their initials on a lock and lock them to the bridge anywhere they can.

From this morning, still misty...
I intend to take Impy out hunting, tomorrow night. I’d love to bring back pics but a dark night challenges even the low-light abilities of the D610 & 50/1.4 combo. Maybe I’ll try anyway.

What a charming custom.

Only the one from me today - the rest were taken with another lens.
Here’s the 50/1.4 doing what it does best - wide open, hand-held 1/6 @ ISO 100850DFEE2-2B67-444A-ACA7-7508848CA149.jpeg
