Turns out one of my favourite lenses to use with my F80 film camera has become my 85mm f1.8. This so called portrait or short telephoto lens seems to fit with my "minds eye" vision which often tends to mentally crop out the near foreground of a scene to focus in on a subject.

I loathe post processing, adjusting settings, moving sliders back and forth, masking, zooming in and out, spending endless hours editing and previewing images in front of a computer screen is a huge pain. It is one contributing factor as to why I don't use digital much and continue to use mostly film for my photography.

Views in the garden; wandering about snapping a few photos in harsh sunlight using 35mm film with a high dynamic range, CineStill 400D. Great fun.

On a bright though cloudy day I visited box hill the summit of the North Downs in Surrey, approximately 19 miles south-west of London, the western part of which is owned and managed by the National Trust. Within their parkland there are a number of spectacular viewpoints, the highest being Betchworth Clump though that from Salomons Memorial, overlooking the town of Dorking, is the most popular.
