The Ironworks at Blists Hill are not open generally to walk round but there are conducted tours during the day so I made sure we went on one as the colours in there are great - the steel blues with all the earth colours of rust and discarded slag. I was handholding so the depth of field is very limited but for some of the shots it worked well.

As part of their 150 year celebration, John Lewis in Cambridge asked Cambridge Camera club to help run an Edwardian Photobooth in their store over the Bank holiday weekend, So this morning Ian, Terry and I set up an impressive Backdrop of Robert Sayle as the store was in 1930 ready for families and individuals to have their photo taken with this backdrop.

Snake's Head Fritillarias in the Mist
Apparently this is a good year for the Berkshire Snake's Head Fritillarias - certainly they looked wonderful covered in dew from this morning's mists when I stopped off on my way home. I am not sure if I like them against the grass or the sky - with the shift lens it is easy to change their relative position. I also used the 50 macro and the 24-105mm

Waresley Wood bluebells
I did two circuits round Waresley woods on Monday - one in the morning with the family and one in the afternoon with members of the Cambridge Camera club. No hardship as the Bluebells were at their very best. Top image with 24mm Tilt and Shift; rest with 100mm macro. Third image uses the multiple exposure setting on the Canon 5D - not sure yet how to get the best from this.
