Roundhay Park *56k*

[h.r.ford]

Well went to Tropical World and Roundhay Park today. What a beautiful day it was. I have to say when I got back I was surprised at the amount of pictures I took that I actually liked. Normally 75% go in the bin and this time I would say well over 50% were of a passable nature so I had to get really tough with myself. So tell me was I tough enough???

1. This is at the end of the canal at Roundhay

SOme really lovely shots there Renee - some bold colours and clever use of them with good composition. :clap:

Really like 3 and 6 - others are good shots too :) that places looks like a good location. Didnt know there was much there! You captures some great colours and some brilliant use of depth of field ;) nice one!

[h.r.ford]

Thanks both of you!

Jimmy I thought of you while I was there though because to get inside you have to go through a butterfly house and I figured you'd be running through as fast as can be!

What? No butterflies! Some good pics there!

[h.r.ford]

If you can believe it there were like no butterflies in the butterfly house. Plus you only get about 3 seconds before your lens fogs up so it isn't easy shooting something on the move!

Evil creatures them butterflies! :( only thing worse is a moth!
