Thanks for the feedback. I was very much experimenting with "Distances" by having the focus on the further-back part of the wall rather than the close-by bit, so if you like, only the middle third - by depth - is in focus. Doesn't quite work, but it's... interesting.
The message from David Littlewood contains these words:
That'd depend on how far up the lamp-post it is. And how tall the dogs are, of course.

I like that!
I sometimes still have to unforget that I can take pretty well as many shots as I like with my FPB; I only hit the limit when all my unforgettery cards are full. Even last weekend, when I was strolling round a couple of steam rallies, I was occasionally still looking through the viewfinder at something gently hissing steam, or putt-putt-putting quietly to itself, and gooving "is that really worth a picture?"[30053] instead of pressing the button.
[30053] as if there were still a marginal pbfg for each frame I take, as there was when I hfrq the film cameras (which now rest, with their lenses, unhfrq and probably valueless, in their bag).In those dim & distant days when everything was in black & white, you used to be able to buy 'front and back' screw caps for storing filters. Basically, you screwed all the filters into a pile and protected each end with the 'front & back' caps.

Taking the extra pictures is only the start. The way to get better pictures is to sit down and look at the pictures and decide which ones are good. When I was shooting 35mm slides I decided that I would never keep more than a third of the slides from any film. So I always chucked out most of the pictures I shot. Then once a year or so I'd go back through all the ones I had kept with the aim of discovering a few more that weren't good enough to be worth keeping.
My advice would be that if you want to get a reputation for being a good photographer, weed out all of the duff shots before you show the pictures to anyone else.
You can still get them - search for "stack cap" on Ebay.

And you can still get them. A friend at work bought a couple of dozen filters off ebay for not very much and they arrived in a large tube. About
2 of the filters were useful as the rest could either be done digitally after taking or were daft things like starburst filters.
Yup. There isn't much that a filter can do that can't be digitally processed these days. Including the starburst stuff...
