Olympus 4/3 and DT4.8

A very different look at Avebury…cool! I was there a long time ago (1980!) and was pretty blown away by the huge size of the outer ring.
Not been to IKEA in years. Oddly enough, I bought a nice cheap cardboard box from there that I still use to keep my vintage lenses in (it’s the perfect size and has perfect sized dividers). I’ve been on the look out for some more, but they don’t sell them anymore, and no where else seems to do the same ones.
I could, of course, make my own – when I next get my hands on some scrap, I’ll give it a bash.
A snail on the garden floor, after all that rain lately, (Belgium), those creatures are feeling great…

I got a new camera and the battery was already charged! 
18 year old Olympus E-400 and 17.5-45mm kit lens. Monochrome shots are OOC JPEGs, the colour were developed in dt 4.8.

Thanks very much!
Interesting shots!
What’s also interesting is that as much as I find this kind of interesting photography to be interesting (OK, I’ll stop… 
), when I try to shoot likewise locally the results are just boring, to me at least.
I guess it’s all about familiarity and the contempt it can breed…

Thanks Len.
Yes, I’ve got the advantage there as I’m living in a a scenic part of the UK… having grown up in Australia it’s definitely different!
But apart from that, I would think it’s largely about thinking about the subject in more abstract terms, or of what it could look like or represent given an evocative edit, as opposed to what it actually is…
I’m not sure to be honest. It’s largely hit and miss for me!

So you’ve relocated? I thought (assumed) you were visiting.
Yeah, I guess I need to consider – as much as possible – how images will appear to those unfamiliar with them.

From a little trip to a botanical garden. Notably, those are all camera jpegs, just cropped and in some cases some minor adjustments. I actually tried processing some of the raws but when comparing, I found the jpegs better, so I threw away my edits…

I really like the composition of the second photo of the echinacea.
Or is that a globeflower?
Kind of embarrassed not to know it…I studied horticulture years ago.
