After the First Frost

Last night produced the first frost of the season. Nothing much and it melted as soon as the sun was on it. But it tempted me to take the K3 out of the house for the first time in a long time before going for a Covid jab. There was nothing spectacular to see, although summer is still trying to hang on in odd corners of flower beds. Anyway, here are the best of the bunch. All with K3 + F 135mm.

Thoughts, comments etc. welcome as usual.

1. Sempervivums look good with drops of frost or dew on leaf edges.



2. This heuchera won't stop flowering.



3. A geranium still hanging on.



4. Also hanging on is the obligatory autumn leaf - a contorted hazel.



5. The bird bath was still in shadow...

Stunning colours

I've often been tempted by the F135mm. You are putting temptation before me again!

colour, shadow, contrast, sharpness - you've got them all, nice little set Steve

Very nice great colours

Regarding F 135. Just go for it, I lost control completely!

Thanks, folks.
Lennybloke put temptation in my way when resistance was low. It's now a favourite lens for plants and flowers. If you find one, grab it, they don't seem to be very common.

I nearly bought it but you got there first - my wallet was grateful !

Great stuff, David. I also agree with reso's comment re. the colours you've caught here.

Thanks for the nice comment. But er... I think I was called Steve last time I checked... Just checked again... Yes, must be Steve 'cos that's what Mrs L. calls me...

Pleased to have been of help .
