• What a Difference a Lens Makes.

  Shot with my speedy Tamron 70-300mm. The AF speed is comparable to Canon L lenses. Combined with Servo focus and a bit of luck, makes shots like these take a single try.

• Tap.

  Just something strange and eerie for the morning. Used the 100mm macro here, it gives such a smooth picture, almost like film.

  Original, unaltered photo. Given a “sunset” look by warming the temperature in Lightroom. Given a “sunset” look by tinting the shadows pink in colour correction in Lightroom.

• Butterflies And Lack Thereof.

  This pretty much sums up this year’s butterfly abundance, though this could also be a wasp nesting.

• Day 7: Sap.

  What you see at the right bottom of the berry is not rain or dew. That’s solidified sap. I remember I used to eat cherry sap off the trees as a child… I wasn’t the most normal of children.

• Day 6: Depleted.

  I took the photo because even though the flower was non-existent, it had this grace about it, the petals still being in the viscinity of the stem.

• Day 5: Own Garden.

  This is taking garden-creeping to the next level. Taken at an allotment centre, with 10s of gardens next to each other and lots of flowers/plants to photograph. I don’t have all that many photos to show though. It was quite rainy hence the water droplets but during editing I managed to figure out how to…

• Day 4: Purple Veins.

  More from creeping into people’s front gardens. Love overcast days for the soft light they give on flowers. Makes nice, smooth images. The plant looks like it should be the flower of beet plants.

• Day 3: Stalk Dead.

  Bit of a creepy title but it’s a bit of a creepy photo. Again, not a clue what plant this is but it looked cool so I clicked the button and made this. The distortion is done by my favourite thing – foreground subject blur, where the thing is so close to the camera, the…

• Day 2: Hanged Red.

  As I’ve said before. Please feel free to comment with the name of the flower, I’d love to know and look stupid showing these otherwise… Alike many others, this shot is from the street, looking into peoples gardens…
