dkCambridgeshire Posted July 19, 2013 Share #1 Posted July 19, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Getting to know my Leica X Vario's capabilities. All taken handheld with ambient light from a distance of approx. 2 feet with camera perpendicular to the tombstone. I'd like to take some closer images but it's unlikely that a tripod would be allowed in the burial grounds. To take these I was standing/stooping over the tops of the tombs - using the grid on the monitor as an aid to ensure the camera was perpendicular and parallel to the subjects. Tombstone lichens in the grounds of Peterborough Cathedral. Welcome, dear visitor!

pauledell Posted July 19, 2013 Share #2 Posted July 19, 2013 Dunk, A wonderful set of abstracts with great patterns, colors and sharpness. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted July 19, 2013 Share #3 Posted July 19, 2013 Very nice, and another bit of evidence that those people who've never used the camera but have had plenty of criticism for it should try the camera before condemning it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkCambridgeshire Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share #4 Posted July 19, 2013 I suspect there is more colour in these images than I can see because I'm allegedly totally colour blind. But I can see colours - and if they look colourful to me they must look more so to others. But please do not ask me what I see or how I see it ... everyone's colour perception is different ... as are their fingerprints. dunk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl G Posted July 19, 2013 Share #5 Posted July 19, 2013 Lichens are often ignored but are beautiful and some of the oldest forms of life on the planet. Nice picture series. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orient XI Posted July 25, 2013 Share #7 Posted July 25, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Is there an inverse correlation between lichen growth and activity in the nearby brickyards? Lichen growth around here has increased markedly since the decline of industry and the increasing impact of clean air legislation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkCambridgeshire Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share #8 Posted July 25, 2013 Is there an inverse correlation between lichen growth and activity in the nearby brickyards? Lichen growth around here has increased markedly since the decline of industry and the increasing impact of clean air legislation. I'm not an expert lichenologist; the lichens in the cathedral grounds appear to be thriving but the brickyards are several miles distant. There is no real air polluting industry in Peterborough. Lichenology is something that I'm tempted to study but it's a big subject - and I'm more interested in the photo opportunities it presents than in the ecology - but will need to do some study to identify species. dunk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
