Today’s post is a simple one really after I spent a little time catching up on images I’ve got sitting in my processing queue within […]

The RHS Wisley flower show Lilies

January 30, 2019 by nick

I came across these glorious Lilies at a recent RHS show, their colour palette appealed to me. Very little post production in Lightroom other than having a play with colour profiles to imitate the look and feel of classic film. I must admit I am missing having a macro lens. I have always had one … Read more

The delight of Snowdrops

January 26, 2019 by nick

I’ve taken snowdrop photos before, in fact probably every January at some point! However I am really pleased with this shot and is perhaps my favourite picture of this kind that I’ve taken myself. I think the reason being that the clump of flowers on the right, are sharp, the rest fade away nicely with … Read more

They are doing well and the garden is springing to life. Shame some weeds are too, as last year we thought a never ending battle with them. So hoping we can nip them in the bud early this year, if you can pardon the pun!

Red Hot Poker II

November 21, 2008 by nick

You have already seen the previous macro image of the same plant. This image believe it or not is of exactly the same plant but lower down it’s stem. Opted for a very wide aperture here to limit the depth of field as much as possible whilst retaining detail in the near foreground. I used … Read more
