dkCambridgeshire Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share #2 Posted June 17, 2014 Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! f6.3 1/50 ISO 200 No idea of actual species - need to buy a book and find out. Plan to return and take more pics using supplementary close-up lenses on the Leica C to obtain greater magnification. The dry stone wall is constructed from Barnack limestone - no mortar used. Barnack has an ancient limestone quarry named the 'Hills and Holes' - but the locals call it, " 'ills 'n 'ollars ". The undulating terrain results from limestone quarrying which commenced over 1500 years ago. The stone was used to build Peterborough and Ely Cathedrals. The site is now a nature reserve and habitat for scarce flora and fauna including pasque flower, orchids and marbled white butterflies. The dry limestone wall is on the perimeter of "the 'ills 'n 'ollars ".

Iduna Posted June 18, 2014 Share #5 Posted June 18, 2014 Dunk, delightful studies of patterns and color. No 2 is my favourite . The little bushy and furry plant is outstanding. Compositions and sharpness is very good. Interesting is your background information. It is a good idea to try out an achromat lens. It will be more difficult to focus but if it functions you can work on other compositions as well. Good luck and lighting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
