Not Perfectly Normal

Here we have a perfectly normal scene of four people having a coffee in a cafe at a National Trust property in Cambridgeshire. Their conversation has died down and soon they will stand up and leave.

And when they do they will know that they must not cross the rope barrier. It is there to separate those coming from those leaving. It is a Coronavirus barrier.

They will have to exit to the right of this scene, make a right turn again and then walk along the corridor of ropes. That is the way they will exit the cafe to reduce their chances of being close to anyone else.

The rules in England are that you have to wear a mask in a shop or anywhere in a public space indoors, except when you are eating or drinking.

Trees

Here are trees at the National Trust property. I had previously set my camera ISO set at 3200, and forgot for a while when taking shots outdoors. I have taken enough photographs that it should have occurred to me to wonder why I was able to use such a high shutter speed, but it didn’t occur to me.

I found out something in the process, which is that the camera holds up very well to high ISO. So something good came of it.

And here is a crop from near the centre of the frame. The area shown represents less than one sixtieth of the area of the whole photograph, and shows how good the camera and lens combination (Fuji X-T2 and 18-55mm lens) is. And that combination is not the pinnacle of capability in today’s cameras.
