You know that you've let your garden go when you're making images of dandelion clocks which are growing in your flower beds.
The recent trip to Cannington has inspired me to return to a way of working which I'd abandoned some time ago - that is, to hand-hold the camera and use a wide aperture to keep the shutter speed up. The new innovation is to use live view with the camera at waist height, which avoids any undignified sprawling about.
This is much quicker than using a tripod, and very freeing. I'm not sure what it does for my hit rate, but it produces images which are quite different from the more formal studies that I've been producing for the past couple of years.
