Taken as part of my "Single in April challenge" for which I am using my SMC Pentax-A 135mm f/2.8 lens. Taken using available light, a tripod and long exposures, processed in Lightroom 4.4.

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Flash has its place - but this isn't it since the natural lighting emphasises the age and dereliction of this lot wonderfully well
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

A fine, atmospheric shot, Kris.

Nice one,
but I hope you look after your cameras better than the rest of your tools

I'm glad to say these aren't my tools... These spanners are also huge, which doesn't really come across in the image.

Great use of natural light - very effective.

As everyone else has said already!

Would look good in a modern garage as a wall canvas, maybe a smear of oil on it!

Any idea what they were intended to be used on? They appear to be quite UN used
