I very much like the pagoda and even more the palm house against that wonderful sky.

Although a well known building I really like the palm house shot: lovely sky and a good BW conversion.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Nice shots Mat, the flower in particular is really excellent. Also like the 2nd pagoda and the butterfly shots quite a lot The other 3 are good but don't really grab me.

The sunflower is my favourite here - good crop, sharp, well lighted, beautiful colours.

It looks like it was well worth your while carrying a bag of lenses on this visit - they're diverse shots.

The Palm House is a very fine shot. Always hard to shoot such a famous building and do something different.
Best wishes,
Andrew

Anyway, first up, a view up the Pagoda against a completely featureless sky (DA 21mm ltd):
A sunflower... just a bout the last 'pristine' one I could find... (DA* 50-135)
A view of the Palm House (DFA 100mm)
An inquisitive Peacock strutting around (alas no tail feather displays) (DFA 100mm)
A large butterfly on a rock (DA* 200mm I think)
Finally, the Pagoda again (DA* 200mm)
I hope you like them. Any C&C welcomed as ever. All of these were with the K-7 using the lenses shown. There were (are) some beautiful Butterflies in the Princess of Wales conservatory, although tricky to get good shots as the light was not fantastic so getting a decent shutter speed for a sharp shot (no tripod) meant wide(ish) aperture and high ISO, which was not ideal, but there are some more on my Flickr if anyone is interested.
