Hey Robbie,
Looks like that lens had delivered, been considering one myself, however I tested one a few months back and I think I must have had a bad copy. Really couldn't get the focus/image sharp even at lower f-stops. looks like you have a better copy! very nice.

Thank you. bright but overcast day, best for flower photography, so I have been told

Awe thanks! - Your going to make me blush lol

Thank you Sry.

Thank you David! If I had known I'd have asked you first! lol I spent an hour or so trying to work out the flower was, I had rounded it down to a few possibilities but couldn't confirm, so omitted naming it it from the accompanying video.

Hey Lenny, yeah, on this occasion I didn't need to add any additional lighting to the subject. Just before mid day and overcast on the edge of the woodland so was plenty of balanced natural light. .. I did have my LED panel with me though, just in case

Working from home for the past 3 months and with a wife who is front line nursing covid patients I have been doing my bit of social distancing. However with the easing of restrictions I decided that an adventure out to an unexplored woodland area in Worcestershire could offer me a much need space and fresh air. Armed with a bottle of hand sanitiser I headed off into the woods to see what I could find on a very breezy and overcast day.

I'm quite pleased with the results considering I have not done much photography of video in quite some time. I hope you enjoy looking at a couple of the images captured.

Thank you to everyone that took time to comment on my images and checked out the video. The feedback has been fatastic! I'm looking forward like most of us i'm sure to getting back out with the camera feeling less restricted!
