Hi Roy, tbh, cant remember or more like didn't take that much notice

Thanks also to Johnx, having goggled both names, I'm not sure either of those are correct by doing an online comparison with the uploaded images !

Morning all,

Shot this last week in a park in Cheltenham, looked like it was in a bed set aside for wild flowers and kind off unkempt, I think it may be a Poppy of some sorts, but would like to either know its Latin name, or the English equivalent please.

Both with K1 and 100mm WR Macro handheld

Do you find 1/15s risky for movement? I would have gravitated to something a bit faster, even if that meant upping the ISO to 200 or 400 on the K-1.

Great results, don't get me wrong
Hi Richard,

Yes, potentially, I went with the flow of the shoot and didnt notice the shutter speed dropping, fortunately the technique side of things is reasonable along with the Pentax in body IS
