Ok, so they're clearly not wild but their setting works (Noah's Ark near Bristol).

Spring Mix

It's been a long time since I posted anything. I have recently upgraded my camera body from a Canon EOS 5D Mark II to an EOS 5DS R.

The new body allows for much higher resolution images, but at a cost of a much bigger file size. I've yet to truly use it in anger, but so far I have been happy with the performance.

Some shasta daisies in a local park (which was previously an old landfill site). 135mm f/2



A common vetch - Lydiard Park, Swindon. 100mm f/6.3



I'm unsure as to what variety of wildflower this is, but it contrasts nicely with its background. 100mm f/7.1



We recently returned from a lovely holiday in the Costa Brava. Our stay included a few days in Sitges, a very photogenic coastal town. 35mm f/14



The youngest Formula One winner of all time, Max Verstappen (a record unlikley to be beaten given rule changes in the sport). Pit lane, Circuito de Catalunya, Spain. 35mm f/1.6



Scuderia Ferrari driver Kimi Raikkonen, turns 1 and 2 Circuito de Catalunya, Spain. 300mm f/7.1
