Crystal Forest

The Forest was amazing this morning with fog and frost. Here are some of the Forest's crystalised fruits:

Guelder Rose


Rose hips


Sloes




Haws


Mistletoe


Seedhead


Leaves

 

Lovely HB and the sloes will make much better gin when the frost has been on them!

 

fabulous pictures hb, you must have a fantastic camera those shots are brilliant well done

 

Superb HB, but I'm getting the shivers looking at them! :wink:

 

Thanks folks! People often ask what camera I use. This is it. Its a simple little one that slips into my pocket or clips on to my belt so I always have it with me. I can't praise it enough - It's brilliant though now a bit dated. I'm sticking with it though.

 

I have the sony cyber-shot digital the only difference being mine is 6 pixels, I honestly thought with those pictures you would of had a camera with more zoom and very expensive like �£1000, anyway it takes fabulous pictures.

 

Er, forgive me if you do not approve, but I took the liberty of doing a little post posting editing. (Well it is so foggy you cannot garden!).
This is the first picture.

I sharpened it up a little.
It really was such an excellent picture I could not help myself.

 

No problem Pal. No can afford �£1000 cameras, Rosa. There are people around who spend that kind of money and buy a camera that is so complicated they never figure out how to use it and so it stays in the cupboard.. I go for simple

I don't use the zoom for photos like these, Rosa because you can't get them sharp. Instead I switch to close up and wide angle and then get in very close - just a few inches.

Glad you like them

 

What camera did you use to take a pic of the camera HB? :D

 

magical pics H

 

The camera pic was taken on the scanner, Pete. You can use a scanner for all sorts of things - flowers, small objects etc. Great fun.

 

hb what i meant was the pics you took you would think they had been taken with a very expensive camera, sorry didnt make myself too clear and i would stick with that camera with the great pictures you are getting with it. brill.
I will have to try that not to use the zoom and get in close, great tip for wildflower hb.

 

They are awesome pictures..I shall think of your picture when i am drinking my sloe gin.. :D

 

In that case then HB, here are some more.




It is the photographer who takes the picture, not the canera!

 

Thanks, Rosa. I know what you mean and its kind of you to say so.
