I like this pic.

It actually isn't a shadow as you can probably see, it is just that it looks that way 'cos the lens misted up due to the humidity of the Tropical house.

Almost all shots are hand held with image stabilisation. Usingthe wide end of the zoom. You need half a black bucket as an infinty curve as the wide angle tends to pull in the back ground from unwanted places.

Botanic gardens. Edinburgh.

by joebangles @ Monday, Mar. 23, 2009 - 15:31:40

the Tropical Palm House, was built in 1834 at a cost of £1,500. Some 28 years later the extension, or Temperate Palm House, was built by Robert Matheson with a Parliamentary grant of £6,000. The Temperate Palm House measures 15.24 m (50ft) to the top of the stonework, with each glass dome 3.35 m (11ft) giving a total height of 21.95 m (72ft).

 Palm House. Edinburgh botanic gardens.

Since over 80% of the world's flora occurs in warm temperate and tropical parts of the world, the glasshouses offer the environments that many plants require.

Our walk on the heath

by jenray @ Thursday, Mar. 19, 2009 - 12:41:29

Hi to everybody...did remember to take my camera out with me this morning to photograph the heath and the gorse in full bloom...it was another gorgeous walk...it's about a mile and half into the heath where this particular gorse bush grows all on its lonesome but has
more flowers on it than most of the other bushes we pass on the way to it...the heath's heather and blue gorse has yet to flower so what you see here is it in winter...still beautiful...click on them to see a larger image...looks more impressive...LOL...
