Lillies and such
Wednesday, October 10th, 2007
I finally had a chance to get out and about and take photos.
This consited of a walk down to the local river, and some of the surounding landscape, I will let other people discuss details of the plant stuff that’s going on here, I got about as far as “oooh, pretty colours”.
Some of the more notable encounters were a squirel that I ended up about 6 feet from, a world class collection of water lillies and some really cool butterflies and other bugs.
Below are some of the shots I took, the photographers among you will notice that most of them seem to be taken at a rather long folcal length, and there are many macro shots in there, that would be owing to the purcase of my new favourate lens, the Minolta 100mm f2.8 Macro RS D — more on this later.
Can I make a special request that people feed back on how this post looks from where you are viewing it from, as I’m testing out some new ways of doing things in this post.
There are more (about 50 more) and larger copies of these here (7 images follow)
