From Slieve League in Donegal, looking towards the Sligo mountains on a glorious February day.

My excuse: I wanted to see how my old 85 mm manual AI Nikkor lens worked with the D200. Conclusion: pretty well (though of course now its equivalent focal length is 85 x 1.5 = 127.5 mm).

A not-entirely-successful attempt (using a 10mm lens) to link the lilies with the Mapplethorpe orchid picture in the background.

… in a Suffolk garden, yesterday.

… I should have paid more attention to the horizontals.

Okay, okay, I admit it: I PhotoShopped it because it wasn’t sharp. But that was because the darned leaves kept fluttering in the breeze.
