...or does it?
A trip to Bressingham Gardens in Norfolk. Six photos taken with my close-up macro lens. Six with the widest angle lens I have. And a final half-dozen with my favourite telephoto lens.
CLOSE-UP AND PERSONAL
THE WIDE BOY
TAKING A LONG VIEW
Take care.
You could have been in three totally different places. All great photos.
ReplyDeleteAn interesting comparison on how you see differently through the lenses.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I find it frustrating when the camera doesn't catch exactly what I see...but then our eyes and brain are different again to a camera lens.
A lovely garden too
Exquisite shots all of them - and those gardens look like a delight. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely, the photos are great and so clear. Is it new the lense? Lots of fun exploring its potential.
ReplyDeleteSame old lenses, same old chap taking the photos!
DeleteYour pictures are terrific, John, and wouldn’t be out of place in a tasteful art gallery. Even more pleasing than the pictures is the knowledge that you are once again able to get out and take them. I hope that trend will continue. Best wishes - David
ReplyDeleteawesome les as usual
ReplyDeleteI like the wide angle photos - so much to see in them
ReplyDelete(I only go there for the garden centre coffee and cheese scone!)
Wonderful fun! And if it were me holding cameras with those three lenses, I'd have taken at least 2-3 shots of each image, thus editing out a bunch of them. I dare say you can zero in a lot better by now and not have the editing floor as scattered with rejects! Virtually of course!
ReplyDeleteStill plenty of rejects I'm afraid. With digital cameras it's always worth pressing the shutter even when you're not certain it's a worthwhile picture.
DeleteThese are like sample photos shot by different lens. Looking at things through lens, we can see features like textures or patterns that would be unnoticed otherwise. The photos with bokeh effect work on my imagination when looking at them. I also like landscape photos.
ReplyDeleteYou don’t need words with those photos, John. Glorious!
ReplyDeleteI spent a long time trying to add words but I kept getting technical about photography which is something I try to avoid.
DeleteWonderful photos and three different views of the same site. Love the flower close ups and the dragonfly but also the wide angle garden images too:)
ReplyDeleteWhichever lens John, it is a great set of images
ReplyDeleteThese are all so beautiful. That looks like a great place to visit.
ReplyDeleteThis is major course in photography. thanks for showing some interesting stuff.
ReplyDeleteNice work there, I'm just changing my Canon R6 for the MkII version as canon were offering a big price drop on it at the moment and the money I get in PX made it worth while
ReplyDeletePerfect- thank you John.
ReplyDeleteThat makes for an interesting study of lenses, John. Such super shots.
ReplyDeleteBuen acercamiento, a esas preciosas plantas, que he podido disfrutar, en tu gran reportaje.
ReplyDeleteSaludos en una tarde de verano.
Nice shots, John, and a good series of comparisons on the various lenses. I always enjoyed a macro lens when I owned one many years ago and a telephoto lens was always a favorite. That said, many camera today come with a moderately wide angle lens as the prime lens. Which focal length do you prefer?
ReplyDeleteThe wide-angle shots here are taken with the 28mm end of a zoom - I hardly ever go there apart from interior shots so I certainly wouldn't buy anything wider or invest in a wide-angle prime. Whenever I use any kind of zoom I always tend to shoot more at the telephoto end for some reason.
DeleteThese shots are fantastic and a good lesson on the different lens. I couldn't tell wjich lens took what other than what you told us. They all are beautiful to see!
ReplyDeleteAmazing shots!
ReplyDeleteI have come across on some research papers saying colour green really lifts human mood significantly more than any other colours. Unlike the dark olive green by eucalypt trees in Australia, that lush green really brightens up my winter blue here
ReplyDeleteSplendid closeups, John! I never had the patience to learn photography, but I sure appreciate the work of those who did. Glad you are getting out again.
ReplyDeleteAll wonderful photos, as always, John. So glad you are able to get out and about again.
ReplyDeleteWow! You really are an artist, John. These are just fabulous!
ReplyDeleteWell done with all 3 lenses.I have lost my photography mojo and my Canon lives in the cupbourd while my phone comes with me everywhere. Lazy big time.
ReplyDeleteAll are beautiful…be proud!
ReplyDeletenature inspires you * very nice choice of images to illustrate your photo advice * like particularly that with long view *
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, all of them. The second picture under 'wide boy': is that an Ivy covered trunk, or is that some sort of shrub?
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not it's a tree. To be precise it's "picea omorika pendula bruns", an unusual form of Serbian Spruce, planted in memory of one of the Bloom family, who founded the garden, who was killed in a car crash. There's a neat little sign to enlighten people like me (and you) who just have to know.
DeleteAs much as I love the 'Wide Boy' scenes, the other images thrill me more.
ReplyDeleteMe too, especially using the long lens which is an adventure every time.
DeleteAbsolutely stunning!
ReplyDeleteHi John - all I can say ... it's a pleasure seeing your posts again ... I'm so pleased you and Les are able to get out and about again. Stunning photos - with whatever lens you wish to use!! cheers Hilary
