Some garden flower photos

Every so often I dash round the parent's garden wiv a camera, zap about 100 shots, bin 80% of them and get the rest printed, via www.photobox.co.uk who seem to do a top service - and send them as a pressie.

Canon Powershot S2 IS, non SLR, compacty thing, with 12 x zoom, 48 max (whilst losing resolution):

Don't ask me what any of them are btw - they don't have VW part numbers

 

They are blooming (get it ) good pictures for a compact digital camera.

 

It's one of these, so up from a compact I suppose. Sorry, I'm not too techy on cameras.





Deffo too big to get in a trouser pocket

 

some good snaps there Chris

 

my mates GF has a camera similar to that but sony cybershot - think they are the best you can get before you go slr (im not to hot on camera's either!!)

the photo's it takes are incredible.

Don't you feel a bit of a pansy running round taking picture's of flowers??

 

Pansy, ha ha.

Not really - it keeps them happy. Makes for a peaceful life!

Rest of the time, it takes pics of cars!

 

At a guess

1) mallow
2) penstemon <sp?>
3) looks like periwinkle flower, but not in a bunch like that, so don't know
4) Japanese anemone
5) iris
6) not sure, poss foxtails
7) grape hyacinth
8) narcissus
9) water lily leaf
10) camelia
11) primula
12) tulip

Nice photos, and it looks as though your parents have a lovely garden throughout most of the year.

 

I am disappointed that Chris didn't find something rare while out & about this time....

 

Ah, pass on most Stella - deffo a tulip and water lilly there. Camelia and primula sounds like familiar babble!

Anyway, it keeps them busy!

Ah, ooh, had to try

A "Butterfly Edition" budlia:

 

You kept that just in case didn't you, you tease .

 

Return of a dead thread sorry

I'm just saving some money for a macro lens. I've captured a few on my regular lens which I will post when a few other users show me their feminine side too.

 

You don`t need no Macro lens!

I shall have to make amends with some macho posting action!

 

Au contraire.

I will just post some ghey flowers to join in.

 

Do Potatoes and Parnips counts as flora and fauna?



No?

Ok... my meagre efforts. Bear with me, I'm crap at taking pictures

 

Some more gheyness from a few walks round the local park, and the gardens at Bodelwyddan Castle (location for All Types VW show)
