Greenhouse ~ Again

 Went out with Photo friends to photograph the autumn leaves and I just happened to get waylaid by the sight of "glass" - -  cant resist!
 So, another place, another greenhouse.  A new treatment for this one.

I do like the 16:9 ratio that I can select with my new camera. Great for landscapes and wide angle subjects. it also has the options of 4:3, 3:2  and 1:1. The greenhouse is taken on the 16:9 setting. This camera  (Panasonic GF1 with 20mm lens) is terrific - great on focus and clarity.

Day of the Fox

Had a dental appointment today and on the way back I stopped the car to take photos of some horses in the field - to try out my new camera. I took a few photos  and was on the way back  because the light was very harsh.  I heard a rustling in the leaves - and a fox came by. As the lens is only 20mm I didn't get  decent shot of him but it felt  like a good omen. More magick.  Picture "Spot the Fox"

Greenhouse Windows

I'm still  working away on my almost a hundred greenhouse pictures. Greenhouses that have been abandoned to the take-over of nature, glass that has still kept its memories of years ago. If someone cleaned it all the magick would go. (btw that is the correct way to spell magic-k with a k if you believe in it.)

Got a new  camera today. It is the new Panasonic lumix DMC GF1 with 20mm f1.7 ASPH lens. Lenses are inter changeable and very light - being of the G Micro System.  The world's smallest and lightest -  well its looking good!  Next comment will be a picture taken with it - today it is pouring down with rain so it is still in its box!
