If there are interesting things growing in the garden, I’ll dabble in some photography on my work breaks. I’ve been doing this on Twitter recently, but I figure I’ll switch it to here and post a link there. This set of photographs was taken with my phone, a Samsung Galaxy S7. I’m generally impressed given it’s a phone camera, but really should dig out my better Canon cameras. Probably the SX600 HS (the PowerShot SX40 HS is a bit overkill for quick garden snaps). Triffids is just the name my group of friends uses for plant life in general, on the basis you can’t trust them. We’ve all seen Day of the Triffids, we’re not falling for their planty schemes.
Usually I post up to four photos, as that’s the Twitter limit for one post. Today it’s eight pictures, because I happen to really like taking apple blossom pictures so did a set for them.
Apple Blossom Photography
Part of my fondess of apple blossom is that I like the combination of the shades of pink and sun-dappled new leaf-green. They were also the first picture I took when I first got a digital camera (Canon PowerShot A60 – I like Canon, I upgraded to the PowerShot S2 IS before the SX40) way back in 2004.
Random Triffid Photography
The next set of photos are of flowers and plants looking pretty good so caught my eye. In order, Welsh Poppy, Bluebells (with some Primrose), Euphorbia, and some Broom bushes. The broom looks great, it’s a shame I can’t stand the smell of the stuff.
You can find more of my photography in my flickr gallery if you’re interested. I haven’t updated it in a few years, work, illness and lack of subjects happened. However, there are a lot of photographs taken with better quality cameras.
