DesleyJane – a lovely arty scientist now living in Melbourne – is also a wonderful photographer and a huge macro fan. She has a new weekly challenge called “regularrandom“ for anyone to join in with which involves spending 5 minutes with the subject matter.
Bearing this in mind during a recent visit to a Cornish garden (Trebah) the following are my 5 minutes with snowdrops.
Having wandered around the garden for an hour or so, I found a clump of snowdrops high enough on a bank behind a bench that I could focus on. Fortunately there was hardly a breath of wind, but the sun was behind a cloud to begin with and then came out again. Although my focus was on the flowers themselves, I did become a little distracted by the water droplets on some of them.
All photos were taken using my Olympus OM-D E-10 camera and Macro 60mm lens. First time out this year. There were more shots taken in the five minutes, but some were a lot less than perfect. Methinks I need to practice.
If you would like to join in then please visit DJ’s site where you will find more information and ideas about the challenge.
I think your snowdrops close ups are just lovely Jude…I wish I could find the time to join in with these wonderful challenges and get some practice in with my new camera. One day…one thing at a time! Meanwhile, I’ll enjoy your gorgeous photos as often as I can… đ xxx
Enjoy Sherri and good luck with the writing đ
Thanks Jude đ xx
