I thought it’d be interesting

Another day out with the camera, but this time with a slight twist.

Given that it was a really bright sunny day it occurred to me that there was more than adequate lighting to be able to use the 50-200mm lens without a tripod yet without risking undue camera-shake, rather than my customary 17-70mm walkabout lens.

I also thought it’d be interesting to see whether (and how) that would affect the type of shots I’d go for.

So that’s what I did. Attached the longer lens, left the normal one at home, and off I went.

Started off in town but, having already done so many pics in the town centre nothing really inspired me very much.

Looked as though the day was shaping up to be a bit of a wash-out pic-wise… until I returned to my own village and decided to go for a bit of a ramble.
(Also took the film camera with me for a bit more testing, but that’s another story entirely.)

Wonders will never cease!

I managed to stumble across a public footpath that I’d not previously discovered… part of the Marston Vale network of footpaths apparently. This particular one skirting the neighbouring village of Wilstead.

The full set’s now on Flickr as normal, but here’s a few samples…
