I got given some flowers at the weekend…. so as I am stuck indoors today some quick flower photos: 1. Carnations – I love the colour I upped the ISO so I could get a fast handheld shutter speed on my Canon Macro Lens EF 100 – I am so lazy.. would have been much […]
Today I took my wide angle and my tripod out to the New Forest – experimenting with shutter speeds and looking for a lone tree that would make a great focal point for my photo. The same tripod position was used for both pictures – I would like a lighter tripod – but I prefer […]
