Calne (Friday 24th January 2020)

OK, it is another swan, but what am I supposed to do when a friendly cob poses right in front of me?
This is one of Calne town centre's two swans, taken from Beaches Terrace by the River Marden just yards from where I saw the rat the other day. Thankfully the tempting plastic bag has been removed and the rat was in its hideaway.
It was another grey day. I was trying out a standard lens that I have hardly used since I bought a 55mm f1.4 lens to supercede it some time ago. It was designed for Pentax's APS-C range but this was taken on a full-frame K-1 and there is no sign of vignetting.
