Seriously, differential focus is pretty good in these pictures, considering they were taken on a sensor smaller than 4/3.

As it's such a nice day I'm wearing shorts - but in respect of the fine folk of Hemel Hempstead, they are muted colours. But I do have a rather bright pair in the cupboard!

I agree. I remember being very impressed by Ian's pics and the performance of those Nikon cameras at the time.

The pics off one of those cameras impressed me more than the other but I forget which it was. I think it was the same one that an used for those beautiful night Panos, the ones he took from the hotel window iirc.

Good morning, young'un, looking lovely as ever.

Which of those Nikon cameras was it you used for the nightime Pano of the Shanghai waterfront?

Was it the same one you used for these 'smile please' shots?

In respect of the fine folk of Hemel Hempstead I'd have thought you would wear Kodachrome colours!

I don't think Kodak is quite the friend of the neighbourhood it once was (when it dominated the town with its UK HQ).

What a great series of pictures that definitely put a smile on my face

Sadly not.

It's so long ago now that half the residents probably don't remember the Kodak presence. The significance of wearing a yellow shirt and socks with a red hat and shorts would be lost. I'm sure you'd still look mighty fine in an outfit like that, though - I'd almost pay to photograph it!
