Manual Minolta Macro

Just to make life a little more difficult I decided to use an ancient Minolta macro lens, with manual focusing and manual aperture, on a Sony NEX 6 camera. 

I strolled along the River Don via Romticle, Blackamoor and Cheesebottom, past an abandoned WW2 MoD PSD (Petroleum Supply Depot?) and finished at a fine exposure of gritstone by Huthwaite Tunnel.

We pass the wonderful Willow Bridge on many of our walks, soon to be obscured by leaves.
