Another glorious day, so after a lazy morning in bed (breakfast included, thanks Lynne), I decided to take some photos.
My camera is a Sony Alpha 700 DSLR, the latest descendent from the Minolta range of Dyxum (or Maxum) cameras since Sony bought out Minolta's camera business in 2005. The first shot was taken with the Minolta 24mm f2.8 prime lens, hand held and the second with the Minolta 50mm f1.7 together with a 12mm extension tube. For this shot the camera was mounted on my Benbo Trekker tripod.
A drive past the old dyeworks at Belmont then a walk into the woods - found this pond. With the sunlight streaming through the trees and the reflections unruffled in the water it made an attractive sight.
It's only February, but already a hairy caterpillar was out eating lichen on an old tree stump.
