A little ICM play with the willows today. Half a second of vertical movement and the whole scene dissolved into something close to an impressionist sketch. Nice to stop for a moment and experiment.

Found this Nazar shoe charm pinned to a noticeboard in a borrowed room today. No idea who put it there or why, but it feels like a quiet little piece of office folklore.

Testing the 90 mm at very close range this evening.
At ten to fifteen centimetres the depth of field is almost nonexistent, which is exactly the point of today’s experiment. Even a simple Lego setup tells you a lot about how the lens behaves.

A close study of the eye, with the room and window reflected cleanly in the cornea. First proper outing for the 90 mm and it shows.

It caught my eye as I walked past, glad I stopped. Bit of fun.

Evening light over Church Road in Leatherhead, looking west–south–west from the LMC offices. A quick masked lift on the sky helps the clouds stand out.

An old cottage wall in Steyning showing the mix of timber, plaster, flint and Horsham Stone. The sandstone is a reminder of how materials from the Weald often found their way into buildings on the edge of the Downs.
