More from Suffolk

We visited Orford Ness on Saturday on a very hot sunny day. I decided to concentrate on using my 15 mm fisheye to take the flowers on the island.
The yellow-horned poppy grew in lots of places on the shingle. It was not easy to photograph as the long seed pods that give it the name made it very difficult to fit in the frame.

The other dominant flower on the shingle was sea campion

Westward Ho

A few pictures from Friday's visit to Westard Ho. The Bathing pool is the one where I learnt to swim as a 5 year old and hasn't changed that much over the years.

I think I prefer the pebble and round pool picture with fewer clouds in the sky - I have many versions of the scene but this is the only one with a relatively straight horizon.

The matching of the sky and the pebbles attracted me in the third image.

Budleigh Salterton

A couple of images for the Wider View Series.
They need the horizons straightened. I think I prefer the vertical framing for the second image.
While drinking a mug of tea sitting at one of the tables, I noticed several dolphins playing around the buoys in the bay. I mentioned it to a local and there was great excitement as, contrary to my belief, they very rarely observe dolphins there.

Pasque Flower

This was the best of my images taken on our recent trip to Therfield Heath. I used the 15mm lens on manual focus and tried to estimate where the focus point would be when the lens was at smallest aperture (f22) - needed to use a Hyperfocal distance table to get it right but this isn't far off.

Dartington Hall

Taken by holding camera with 15 mm lens above the flower and seeing what I got. Pleased with result. Would be good in a breeze with petals falling down. Thanks to Meg (in background) and Malcolm for their hospitality.

Follow-up visit to Ely Cathedral

Returned to Ely today - very bright sunny day so lots of light bouncing around in the Cathedral. Used the 15mm lens to give these two views of the choir on a platform underneath the octagon.

Ely Cathedral

Taken with 15 mm Fish-eye converted from raw with no further manipulation - any ideas how it was done!
