Here are a few more views from last week’s visit to these gardens:
As before, all these photos were taken with my compact camera. This is a view of some species tulips in the Dessert Wash garden. Alan and Graham liked this enough to make this the main photo on their facebook page.
And this is a close-up view of some of them.
This feature, just north of the Walled Garden, is a sundial. It has several small faces around the circumference about 2/3rds of the way up. I was please with this as I didn’t think the detail in the clouds would show – an advantage of shooting ‘raw’ – in the jpgs most of the bright areas were burnt out but here they are more controlled.
This flower was on an indoor plant in the greenhouse within the Diamond Jubilee Walled garden.
And this final one shows a new sculpture south of the Mediterranean Garden.
I was using my compact camera as we were out for most of the day and I didn’t want to lug the bigger camera around nor leave it in the car. With a bit of care, knowledge and the appropriate software, a decent compact camera can produce quite acceptable results.
