Views From a New Lens
I just got a wide-angle camera lens a few days ago and I am playing around with it and trying to decide if I like it and if it was worth the pricey investment. I don't think there are many situations in our garden where a wide-angle is useful but I always wish I had one when I'm out photographing big scenic areas. I also don't think Blogger is the best place to do an assessment as I always feel like images lose some quality here - if anyone uses Blogger and can offer any insight, I would be interested. I've never determined the best sizes to use on this platform for optimal quality. Enough about that. We just had a few hot days (close to 100 on Thursday) and I hope that is the end of it. It is milder today and the long-range forecast is showing cooler temperatures. The above shot is the front pathway that I usually photograph from the opposite side. The lens is not fully extended here. Deodar Cedar 'Feelin' Blue' The photo below has the lens fully open. Th
Oh, Phillip. Here I thought I'd put the idea of growing hydrangeas far behind me and now I once again find myself enamored with them. As if the Fling tour hadn't already stirred my interest, you've gone and reinforced that with this post.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kris! I'm guessing hydrangeas are difficult to grow in CA?
DeletePhillip, these are beautiful photos. I counted at least 13 different hydrangeas. How did you decide on which ones to start with when you were beginning your garden design?
ReplyDeleteArdith, most are spur of the moment purchases. I'm more of "buy now, decide where its going later" gardener.
DeleteOh wow, beautiful. I love the picture with the pathway, so enticing!
