Enviable shots there Mark .... they are absolutely really lovely Second one up from the bottom is my favourite (I think ...it's hard to say) I just love that cool blue wintry look to it.
A couple I took for my 52's ...the second one I decided not use on there. Feeling better after my horrible cold so hopefully will be out and about again now....hoping for some frosty shots but not holding my breath....we live a bit too near the sea to get much frost
That first shot is really great Susie, it reminds me of a scene from Blade Runner. And i am guessing the middle shroom is female as it is wearing false eyelashes.
I've used this for my 52 this week but for those who don't venture there I thought I'd share it. I found a tiny Campanula bravely blooming in the garden and did this raindrop on Friday ... I managed to get this one on the tiny stamen.
Thanks George. I think I may have disturbed this little chap, but he rewarded me by spinning a new cocoon, he was only about a millimeter wide, it's not the greatest shot but I think he deserves a mention
Do we need a "Spring and summer" thread now, for non-flower stuff? Anyway, these have been around all winter, so they don't seem out of place here even though these images were captured in the past few days.
The first version was captured using the 70D, and the second, in very different light, a couple of days later with my TZ60 travel/point and shoot camera. Both versions used exposure fusion (more details here if you are interested), both using two captures. I used a tripod and remote release for the 70D captures. The TZ60 captures were hand-held, but my hand was resting on the ground. All the captures were RAW. Basic processing was in Lightroom with the exposure fusion done in Photomatix Pro.
Some more not-a-flower images captured in the garden a few days ago. The feather was being blown around by the breeze and was pretty much continuously in motion. I took loads of shots. Most were useless but I thought these weren't too horrible to share. I could only (just) get one line of sight on the feather squeezing through the bush's branches, so the feather was at an awkward angle most of the time making it difficult to get it all in focus. I know the last one is almost completely out of focus, but I thought it gave an idea of the feather's movement.
