A bit of yellow

The weather last weekend was lovely, I remain hopeful that isn't going to be it for us in the UK for the summer, but we'll see!

We enjoyed walks at the Ridgeway and Lydiard Park. The part of the Ridgeway we walked along allowed some very good views of the Wiltshire countryside. Lydiard was good for photographing buttercups...!

First, a single buttercup - in hindsight I should have used a smaller aperture, but I like how the background contrasts with the yellow - I don't think the background would have worked as well at ~f/8

Some more buttercups, shooting through a patch of them to get the effect of foreground and background blur.



A view from the Ridgeway near Hackpen Hill in Wiltshire. I like clouds in this, it looks like I could have done with standing closer to the fence - but working at 17mm I wasn't really that far away (a couple of feet or so).
