I recently visited Bath with a friend, both of us confidently limiting ourselves to a single lens. My choice for the day my Canon EF 17-40L, which I purposely selected to avoid resorting to macro.

My Lightroom 5 free trial ended recently, so until I cough up the £100 for a proper license I'm limited to un-edited images. Happily some of the images from the day didn't really need much, my favourite being this...

 
 

As you can see, I didn't do that well on the macro avoidance, albeit nowhere near 1:1. The lens isn't designed for macro, but the minimum focus distance is pretty low!
