This is the last of my recent photo series from Heathfield Garden near Croydon. Here I've only used the DA 18-55 AL WR, at a range of lengths and apertures. All with the K7, gripped and handheld, with SR activated, ISO 200. Shot in RAW.

From the title I thought you had a Showcase in the garden
for displaying WR lenses

All excellent would look good in a calendar containing
just July and August I love pictures of summer as I
like to imagine it

Pentax K-1 + K-5 and some other stuff

I can see I'll have to publish a calendar of summery English garden scenes just to satisfy you Algi! Well, at least its something to keep in mind if the day job goes pear-shaped Glad you like them - now, a WR lens showcase in my garden ... that would raise a few eyebrows ... I guess the case itself wouldn't need to be waterproof ....

Technically all very competent Nigel despite the harsh light. Favourites are the two that are a bit different, with the lupin being the pick. Like how the background is thrown out of focus. Pity the wall is so high in the allium shot

A colourful and eye-catching set, Nigel. It's one of the pleasures of summer, taking pictures in beautiful gardens. Doesn't the oft discarded kit lens produce some lovely sharp images?
Best wishes,

Andrew

Thanks Alan, I did have to be very careful with the clouds - let a few blow out, but generally I've been able to recover shadows fairly easily.

Yes Andrew, it can certainly shine in the right conditions. Thanks for your kind comments!
