Picture post

In which I am going to spam my flist with pictures of plants and scenery:



Macro picture of my cress pot that I used as a test subject for photography last Thursday when I went to see Thomas the Metropolitan; I'd posted about it. Now you get the actual pictures at last.



Even closer, with rings to lengthen the lens, and shot from a tripod



And that is the actual set-up we used to take that second macro picture. Of course, with the rings, you have to focus manually.



On the way back, I saw more plants.



On the Friday, I went back to Prien with the Lady Lena (who doesn't live far away from there) to get three water bottles and a CD of Imaginative Relaxation from my rehab place; and then I went to the lake to take a few pictures with the telephoto lens. That castle is about a mile away from where we stood. The lens is really good. I had real trouble catching it the last time around, even though I was on a boat and much closer.



The telephoto lens works very well; in the original full-size high definition picture of which this is the scaled down web version, you can see the faces of the people on the boat.



And some general postcard prettiness. It's lovely there even on an overcast grey day in spring, not just on those miraculously blue and glowing autumn days last November.
