Acorn. We had a prodigious acorn harvest last year. However, this image was really about "Can this 35mm f/2 lens do narrow depth of field?". Well, yes it can!

Stone-paved Edinburgh street. And yes, that's the East Coast mainline crossing at the end (and a student residence behind it). But that converted warehouse means it can do for #FensterFreitag #WindowFriday .

Portrait format black and white photo of a stone-paved street with a stark stone converted warehouse with multiple windows to the right (and left). The stones are setts rather than cobbles; brick-shaped granite rather than individual rounded stoned. There is a street lamp projecting from the building on the left. At the end of the street is an arch under the East Coast main line; a gantry for the power cables can be seen. Behind is a modern student building.

Walking down to Portobello West Prom. I think this frame is a reasonable metaphor for walking into a New Year in hope.

Black and white photo showing two people walking away from the camera down an old track towards a promenade by the edge of the sea. The tide is out, the sea is fairly calm, there may be some bathers in the distance. The clouds above are mostly high and bright; there is still enough sun for shadows from the walkers (son and Mrs R). There are white streaks on the road in the foreground; some of these are repairs to cracks in the tarmac surface, some are damage to the film from an initial mis-load onto the spool! Had to put the tank into the dark bag, pull the film back out and feed it back in again. Happily most of the frames were fine.

Ordnance Survey Flush Bracket Benchmark 543. Used in the Second Geodetic Levelling of England and Wales between 1912 and 1921, height surveyed at "309.456 feet above Newlyn datum". Since the bridge has been rebuilt, it may not be exactly that height now! (bench-marks.org.uk/bm2381)

Black and white portrait format photo of an unusual benchmark built into the base wall of a canal bridge. There is dry grass at the bottom of the frame and stone blacks above. The Flush Bracket is a metal plate, in this case roughly cemented into the wall. The bracket shows the four letters O S B M arranged roughly in a square, with the OS symbol resembling an arrow head with a horizontal line above. Below is the number 543 that refers to the particular Flush Bracket, and above is a rather odd cross shape (like a + symbol).
