Frequent Posters will know I was at Paddington in the evening. That's not the answer!

Where was I earlier that day?

Well done SandT, that's correct. A very well kept and presented little terminus.

The pub opposite the station always used to do some nice food.  Name escapes me now and haven't been there for a while so things may have changed.

That'd be the Royal Oak, and it's still a decent pub with good food.

They've done a great job with the 458s they look as good as new outside and in.

See you are still getting some nice effects with depth of field.

Still exploring the capabilities of the 25+ year old manual full frame telephoto (70-200mm) lens I bought to go with my DSLR. I quite like the effect I achieved in the picture of the hanging lamps (200mm (300mm equiv), f/4, 1/800sec exp -0.3), although it could have been more sharply focused on the lamp nearest camera.
