Ah, wombling free again!... a couple of walks around the Wimbledon Common area last week.
Amazing that those shots were taken in a densely populated part of a big city. And at a time when crowds have started to fill open spaces again after the pressure of lockdown. Where are the people????

It's been notable that all of the usually quiet and special places I have enjoyed for a long time here in South London / Surrey, have become much busier since Corinavirus and the lockdown, as people clearly are finding alternatives to shopping, pubs restaurents and family visits....
Let's hope they all quickly get back to those things again once allowed to! I had to pick my moments, that's true, and click the shutter as people are hidden. But certainly in Wimbledon Common there were still plenty of very isolated and empty spots.
Thanks Steve and malfis, it's good to be back!

I really like the first one too. The light is superb.
I am very pleased you are back Nigel. Without your excellent flash guides I would not have embraced the art-form it as I have.
You do not live that far from me and when this current crisis is over we should go for a photo expedition together, or at least find a pub !

Thanks Chris, Philip & Mike....
Peter, I look forward to that meet up soon...... Not sure about the pub though, I need to see a hairdresser and dentist well before any socialising should take place!

And I'm very glad I finally did it. First lens out was the Samyang 14mm (that's a South Korean lens btw :wink and I took it on a couple of walks around the Wimbledon Common area last week.
Most shots were taken at ISO200, around F6.7, f8 or f9.5....
Thanks for taking a look!
