Under a Railway Bridge, near Apperley, Leeds

    We went for a walk with the Huddersfield Rucksack walking group yesterday. Don sat for his lunch under this bridge, so I hid behind some rocks and pretended not to be photographing him.

    I'm really enjoying my new Nikkor 24mm f/2.8. Really nice walk-around lens. I love fixed focal length for how it actually cuts down my options. If I'd had a superzoom with me, my myriad options would have confused me and I'd probably have been trying to photographs ducks or something... or everything! The fixed-focal length means that I'm only looking for certain shots, so those shots tend to have more time and effort put into them. And I also have some sense of what's going to fit the frame too, so I see a scene and kind of know what I want to do. I think I'm trying to say it's more instictive. Yep, that'll do!
