I don’t do gardening, but put a camera in my hand and leave me in the Cambridge University Botanic Garden…

Nice photos, flower photography isn’t as easy …

Thank you.

I doubt I’ll ever getting into clamps, macro, image stacking etc, so to me it’s just a different type of photography. My 70-200mm keeps me a reasonable distance away and hopefully not crouching or kneeling.

I’m being sneaky . Some veg will be grown in this , some flowers . The flowers for pollinator photography will require no bending down etc

Beautiful ophrys apifera orchid laughing as it mimics a female solitary bee to be pollinated.

My wife insists on trying to grow peonies despite the fact that they never flower in our cool, damp climate. This year’s prolonged spell of sunshine has finally produced this 6” flower.

Alliums are a favourite to photograph , simply because of the symmetry

Milau?

Bought a paeonia called moonrise. The flowers are absolutely huge and beautifully subtle. It’s another case of photos not doing a plant justice. I paid a really high price for this and wonder if I was ripped off, but that was my decision. I have the philosophy that if I see a very special thing, buy it, as I probably won’t see it again. I have Googled it and it’s not particularly easy to source.

The garden

Centaurea pulchra major. Really odd plant to me. With it’s gold bracts, Ive never seen anything like it. They are literally gold, not cream or beige. See-through gold.
