Andrew 
this is the best set yet!
I really really like Ajar and Post-Mortem (especially Post Mortem!). Great light in Ajar, and the off-the-wall subject (harhar, geddit?) in Post-Mortem is brilliant! I could have seen either in a glossy coffee table photo book and wouldn't have batted an eyelid. Most excellent
Tim
AF - Pentax K5, Sigma 10-20/4-5.6, Tamron 17-50/2.8, Sigma 30/1.4, Sigma 70-200/2.8, Tamron 70-300/4-5.6
MF - Vivitar CF 28/2.8, Tamron AD2 90/2.5, MTO 1000/11
Stuff - Metz 58 AF1, Cactus v4, Nikon SB24, Raynox 150, Sigma 1.4x TC, Sigma 2x TC, Kenko 2x macro TC, Redsnapper 283 tripod, iMac 27, Macbook Pro 17, iPad, iPhone 3G

Great set but Ajar wins first prize.
Best wishes, Kris.

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.

Thank you Emma and Kris,
Glad you like these. Ajar seems to be coming out as the favourite. I was lucky with the light that day...makes a difference.
Best regards,
Andrew

Thanks Gareth,
Very pleased you appreciate the pictures.
The lens is an M42 Hoya 24mm 2.8. At £12.00 plus p+p it was easily my most expensive purchase (after the camera, obviously). I really wanted (want?) a Miranda KA fit 24mm but so does everyone(?) else so the e-bay prices are high. One went for £22.00 last week and it was affected by fungus!
The Hoya was a shot in the dark but is in almost as-new condition (one lady owner). With caps and a perfect hard case.
I find focusing very easy with it as the view through the screen is so bright and clear.
It's enabled me to take some favourite pictures but that may be coincidence as I really like my 28mm lenses most. These are more plentiful and less expensive.
This is a ludicrously long answer to a simple question, Gareth.
Best wishes,
Andrew P.S. Making a flying visit to the Principality's capital tomorrow afternoon, by train. Son wants to travel by a special service hauled by two type 67 locomotives!

Sincere thanks to all of you for looking and taking the trouble to comment. Really glad you enjoyed them.
Strange no one took to "Worn Out" which I quite like (colours, sense of all the hands who have used the old brass door knob and screwed it back on..."
No more where these came from, I'm afraid. Even as I write bulldozers are poised at the gate. I even met a man from a French electricity company who'd arrived to read the meter. I helped him look round, but someone had nicked it!
