Hampshire Holiday Post 04 - Pepworth House

 Day 2 of our Hampshire Holiday was spent at another National Trust house, Pepworth House.

It was a wet day and we spent quite a bit of time in the house. And what a house. Many paintings by very well known artist and the statures where excellent.

Hampshire Holiday Post 03 - Insects, Drips and Flowers

Still at Uppark House and after lunch I had a wonder in the formal gardens. I became quite fascinated with the green leaves with water drops on so I fished my Macro Lens out and took some images. I attracted quite a bit of interest. I had my camera bag with the 'kitchen sink' in it, I was sitting on my walkstool and the camera was on a tripod. I could sense people peering over my shoulder. When I looked at them they asked what I was photographing, was it some rare plant or something. When I told them I was photographing drips they seemed surprised :)

I did get side tracked a bit with the insects and flowers too

Hampshire Holiday Post 02 - An Impresionistic View of the Garden

The garden at Uppark House was a breath of fresh air, if you will pardon the pun. Sue and I have not been going out like most of you I expect and to be away and in the open, somewhere different was a real treat.

Being with friends to brought its own joy.

Anyway, I have not been focusing on my creative photography just of late and this was a real chance to do some.

Most of the images are multiple exposure in the camera and then processed in Lightroom and Photoshop. A few images I was using a conventional Canon 25-105 R Series Lens (My normal 'go to lens') the others I used the Lensbaby Composer with Sweet 50 Optic with in camera ME. Plus some with Intensional Camera Movement
