South Shields Daily Pictures
Springing to life
Posted by Curly (South Shields, United Kingdom) on 19 May 2012 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
Part of a series of pictures where I have used a light touch Orton effect, this macro of some buds in a hedge was found in the West Park, South Shields.
These last three macro shots were done using an old Takumar Pentax 50mm f1.4 lens mounted on three extension tubes. Hence the lack of full exif details.
