Rose Petals in garden - new Nikon Micro 200mm 1:4D lens

I've been wanting to do some macro photography for a while and researched the best lenses for my camera and quickly realised that this lens, although old, has a monumental reputation for quality and crispness.

I am thrilled with it.  I only had a 10 minute play in the garden, but WOW! I love it.  Prepare to be macroed.

Field of Poppies in Cornwall

Had a quick weekend of surfing and camping at Pollyjoke; one of the best campsites and beaches in Cornwall.

On the hill on the way to the pub for a well-earned (not!) pub meal and bevy, came across a field of poppies which was literally breathtaking.
