Wild? I Was Livid, etc, etc...

I don't often make images of wild flowers because...err, well because. Anyway, I've been seeing these flowers all across the levels recently, so one morning a few weeks ago I stopped on my way to work and made a few images, of which this is one.

Taken On The Fly

As we're on the subject of micro-beasts...I made this image whilst still flushed with success from my experience with the shield bug

Stop Bugging Me

One of the advantages of working hand-held is that of speed. If I'd had the camera on the tri-pod, I wouldn't have been able to make this image of a shield bug before it crawled off somewhere.

Lavender's Blue...

Generally, I strive for clarity. This image isn't sharp, but it works anyway, I think. Funnily enough, I always saw it as a monochrome image, but it really didn't work when I desaturated it.

Lavender's Green...

Another image in the hard-hitting reportage series that could be entitled "colour images of flowers in our garden". This is of a flower that's decided to grow in amongst the lavender hedge that runs down one side of the lawn.

Green is the Colour

Sticking with colour, another image from our garden.

Colour Me Whatever

Enough of all that mucking about with mono, here's a colour image of a daylily. I've never managed to make a successful mono image of one of these flowers.

Angelica Somerset

This is the first year that we've grown angelica in our garden, so this is its début here.
