I like the images and don't mind the 'bubble bokeh' at all...it creates a sort of 'classy wallpaper' effect.

Very impressed that you are obtaining these images from a lens that is about ninety years old.

Another fascinating set of images...glad you confirmed it was Cornwall and not Devon as I was convinced the airfield visible in image 4 looked like what is now Newquay Airport (ex. RAF St.Mawgan) !

Agree with David (above) about the nature of the land beneath our feet...look at the scalloped edges of the cliffs on the coastline...gradually being eaten into. The 3D viewpoint afforded to us from the skies can be very informative.

Excellent images...I do love aerial shots...these are really good.

Fantastic those Spad...that Istrian Hut was a great 'find' and the other shots are spectacular in their own right.

Well done.

Re. the bird...turned a corner and there it was quite close in undergrowth to the side of a path...wasn't fazed by us at all.

Couldn't make out what it was at the time then later we were near one of the ponds and saw something similar with an adult moorhen...so think it might be a juvenile moorhen. Not sure though maybe a 'birder' on the site could advise.

No.7 is actually my favourite from those...might upload at a larger size on the main gallery.

Have been meaning to go here for some time as I do like Botanical Gardens.

Took the opportunity for a day out there recently.

Set in about 60 acres it is quite a large site with a variety of different landscapes...some cultivated and maintained, others left 'wild'.

On one side there are views over the marshy Dee estuary to North Wales.

Wanted to give my compromised K-50 an outing and paired it with my Pentax M 50mm f/1.4 I bought a while ago but have barely used. Ignore Exif data that says '100mm'.

Missed most of the summer flowering and bright colours...will have to again next year to get those but there was enough interest to
occupy me.

See what you think.

Darker for me...prefer the greater contrast.

Make that a Wow Wow from me too.

Apologies Spad...a Freudian Slip perhaps...although i'm not sure why as i'm not married to my partner either!

Excellent those Spad..win-win all round.

Hope your wife enjoyed her day out.
