Hyacinth
1638|546
The clocks went forward today and enjoying the beautiful weather we have had today. I decided to grab my macro lens and take a look around our garden for some new images. Things are gradually springing to life out there and the hyacinths seemed to be a good choice, as they weren’t in direct and strong sunlight.
The shot was taken using a Tamron 90mm macro lens, camera mounted on a tripod and a reflector attached to the leg of the tripod with a “plamp”. I was looking for some strong abstract images with a big splash of colour and this composition was the one I liked best out of the whole lot! You may see some more shots in the gallery section.

Great Bustards once roamed the UK until persecution rendered them extinct. Through an extensive reintroduction programme, they are once again back in Wessex!

on April 1st, 2008Beautiful image! I like how it evokes Spring without using the signature color and lighting of traditional Spring “blooming” shots (with leafy greens and direct sun).
