Symmetrical Bus Stop (vintage lens shot)

I took a vintage lens (SMC Pentax-M 28mm F3.5) on a walk around the Jubilee Campus at Nottingham University.

The campus is on the site of the former Raleigh Bikes Factory, which once provided employment to almost 12,000 people

It is a beautiful campus with some amazing architecture.

This is a bus stop outside the Exchange Building which is part of the Business School. I love the symmetry and shapes. Do i need a person in the shelter to tell the story?


Anyway the Pentax lens is a fine lens, well respected in the Pentax community and quite hard to find too . I've had it for 12 months and not really used it that often ., perhaps I should given the quality of this image

Nice capture! Good to use your lens again!!

Phil, the symmetry is amazing - presented great in mono. I'm just wondering how many lenses you have now......

Oh now that made me nostalgic! I had a Raleigh 20, still one of my all time favourite bikes. Enjoying the symmetry here.

The reflection of you in the glass is like an added bonus for people who study the photo closely.
