'Halloween' comes from All Hallows' Eve i.e. the eve of All Saints' Day, which is tomorrow. This photo was taken in my local churchyard.

The lens looks to be the Nikkor 80-200 f/4.5. A nice combination.

Nikon F is the choice of the discerning photographer in whatever version of reality we live in.

Just put the traps out with fingers crossed! Three or four bats were out already, flying around the house.

The Herring Gulls at Selsey Bill this afternoon seemed to be up for a bit of bat and ball.

Well, I did put the trap out in the porch for a few hours last night, bringing it in at 2am. Blair's Mocha and Black Rustic were the only moths of note.

Berries on the beach.

I don't consider myself arty but I just had to stop and get this shot on my morning walk.
