The Pond

[Nick Lukey]

Yesterday while enjoying the early morning sun, I sit in a spot close to our pond. I asked myself how many images I could find without moving from my seat.

Anyhow I thought it might be a good test for my recently aqquired Canon 200 F2.8 FD. I like this lens, though when compared to the 55-200 it does have its shortcomings, but it feels nicely balanced on the Xt1. Some images from my little test.

Interesting concept Nick...excellent results. I must try that sometime.

 

[Pete Askew]

A nice idea Nikc and a supper collection of images from it. I like the turbulent water and the last two very much.

 

[Nick Lukey]

Hi thanks for the comments @Pete Askew , the turbulance came from our rather large Koi "biggie" my favourite is the 2nd to last image.

Some stunning stuff here Nick. 2nd 4th and 6th are excellent. Last week on my holidays I took 150 shots of a bed.

See, you should never sleep with a camera that is left on @Tom Dunne !

The mind boggles Tom, not Tracy Emins crumpled mess ?

I wouldn't waste the electrons!

Excellent series Nick , favourite is the 4th from the end, from a great set.

Like Julian, I like them all but mostly the 5th from above. An excellent series and I think I know how it came about? Was it after the mountain trip Nick?
