Hello,

More flower photography, this one is from our garden, post downpour. I don't know what type it is (botanist? anyone?) but the blooms are about 5'' across, pentagonal star shaped, and they're only open in the morning.

Well, at least someone's happy.

A singular success I feel (if only because I captured him cleanly) I'll leave C&C up to my esteemed peers.

Between work and the weather, I've not been out shooting much the last two days.

So this is another PP experiment, from a shot taken last weekend. I've gone from 4/3 to a 1/1 crop, converted to B&W and added a vignette; all in LR, no presets.

C&C welcome, and thanks.

After weeks of sun, yesterday began - and continued with; the UKs favourite weather.

This was taken as the rainclouds began to move on, and I enjoyed a glimpse into the recent past.
