Then the incredible amount of detail within the […]

I’m still getting used to having a macro lens in my kit bag but love […]

A few minutes earlier the skies were blue and the sun was adding some nice contrast and sparkle to the frozen dew. Then the mist came rolling in and all the colour disappeared. This […]
