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.Nice one,

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.

Me too (liking your home, that is). I like the pictures as well but I think all of them would benefit from an panoramic crop, i.e., chop off a bit of the empty sea at the bottom (you can try it just by scrolling the image down until the bottom is off the screen). The middle image is, in my opinion, really lovely when you do that. See what you think.
Cheers, Kris.

A college friend of mine from my Durham days gave me his old film camera gear. A nice little set-up, although almost no surprises. The exception was a genuine Pentax helicoidal extension tube. which I am very pleased about. Andrew's sister had not long paid for the camera to be serviced, and so it was good to go. Now loaded with a roll of Kodak BW400CN.

Yes, I know I should have dusted it all first. Photos taken with a K-3 fitted with a Pentax-M 100mm f/2.8 lens. An M-series lens seemed appropriate.

I believe the ground floor are open garages but that only solves part of the problem.
The big (and sad) issue with Hertfordshire is the pressure on housing. It is very popular with people who work in London and houses prices are astronomically high. Government policy is forcing local councils to allow big new housing developments. This is eroding the Green Belt which, sad to say, is likely to be scrapped. In 1939 Arthur Mee was able to write

Jenkins, however, is clearly a bit ignorant as there are some lovely rural spots left, but given recent developments the picture he paints is rapidly becoming true.One of the smallest English counties, Hertfordshire finds excitement hard to come by.
