Wrest Park

Wrest Park

My wife and I went to Wrest Park, a stately home in Bedfordshire maintained by English Heritage.

Over the last few years it has undergone some great regeneration cafe and play area & beautiful new gardens in front of the house.

Boris

I think this is the last furry creature we have in the family.

This is Boris, my eldest daughter’s hamster. He normally lives with her at university but now that she has graduated he is back home.

Snail Panning

Snail Panning

A macro shot taken around 3x life size with the Canon MP-E 65 macro lens.

This was actually a panning shot as I had to keep track of the snail as it foraged across the garden. It is surprising how fast they move when you are looking at them three times life size.

My iPhone

My iPhone

So this is the beast which takes a fair percentage of the shots for my 366 project.

I’m currently designing a website for my iPhoneography and need a few little graphics, so I took this shot of the phone on a piece of white perspex.

Bumble Bee

Bumble Bee

Today’s shot was just a quick grab shot before I went to work.

The bee was on the path outside the shed so I grabbed the camera, put the MP-E 65 macro lens on, ramped up the ISO to 4000 and took a quick set of shots, hand-held.
