An Elm tree’s leaves are infused by Sunlight, glowing with an Emerald-green shimmer whilst Summer lingers overhead…
*Shot on a Canon 30d 8.2mp dSLR using a Canon EF 35-70mm f/3.5-4.5 A lens with settings at ISO-320, aperture at f/6.3, pattern metering mode and an exposure time of 1/800 seconds*
A mixed selection of pics from the last couple of months, which are well-overdue considering the lacklustre uploading over the last six months or so…
I’m currently in-between cameras and by luck – and a massive dent in my credit card – I happen to have three different models at my disposal to mess about with: an older Sony a300 dSLR, plus two of the newest Canon camera models, the G12 compact and the entry-level 600d dSLR.
A small selection of pics looking at how Mother Nature is constantly on the move in the Man-made world: almost engulfed by this year’s rampant undergrowth, a street sign still manages to show the way (just).
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I cannot believe that I’ve not contributed more content to this blog since my last entry, which was yet another form of an apology for my lack of commitment!
To try and make amends (yet again!) here are some pictures from around my local countryside park, Tandle Hills in Royton, so please click on the ‘(More…)’ link below:
I cannot believe I’ve not submitted anything to this blog for the last six months! As a form of an apology, here’s a picture of our favourite Christmas bird, the humble (and occasionally savage) red-breasted Robin.
