Photo walk 11 July — Nikon D40 + 50mm 1.8g lens

I just acquired a 1.8g 50mm lens, which I bought as my previous 50mm — 1.8D — did not autofocus with my D40. The ‘G’ version does, as it has an internal motor.

The 2013 Edinburgh International Festival (2-26 August) is only a couple of weeks away. It brings with it the Edinburgh Fringe, which, with its varied and numerous shows, always produces a fair number of street photo opportunities (these are inevitably promoted by participating actors and performers — who can be seen touting their shows on the Royal Mile, Edinburgh’s medieval thoroughfare).

I'm looking forward to photographing some of these then. Meantime, a few shots from my recent photo walk with the D40 and 50mm 1.8G:
