Beware of people with cameras...  Grin

A couple of trees




A mono tree, looking up


A path over the stream


Oh... More tree...






A farmhouse


And it's driveway


And an experiment with the Raynox


These are all handheld, gota love IS   Grin

Nice shots, John. Is it spring or is it autumn in the woods in January?  Wink
I liked the monochrome trees and the last shot - very colourful  Grin

John, those are great shots!. I love the b&w image looking up into the canopy. Excellent depth. Feels like I'm there. You wouldn't think they were taken in Winter due to the sunshine and bright colours. Very cheerful images.

Nice to see you getting down John for a different perspective., an interesting set of photos. It's amazing that a  photo ca be made from barbed wire but you did it and very well., quite imaginative too.

Don't know when I can get back on line.

Thanks very much John, it's astonishing how much that small change in perspective alters the pic. As for the barbwire, I think it helps getting in real close with the macro rig (the raynox on the 55-250) at the image scales this produces things look very different.
