Wandlebury Country Park with the Camera Club

Wandlebury Country Park with the Camera Club


Met up with a number of Cambridge Camera Club members at Wandlebury Country Park to look for Fungi and enjoy the autumn colours. We certainly did that. Not as many fungi as last year but we did find some nice examples. Met up with my friend Phil so ‘coffee and cake’ happened :)



According to the Woodland Trust there are over 15,000 species of fungi in the UK. I think this is a Common Conecap Mushroom.

CCC Trip to the Cambridge Botanical Gardens

CCC Trip to the Cambridge Botanical Gardens 

Back in April we had a Cambridge Camera Club visit to the Cambridge Botanical Gardens. Such a peaceful place to visit and it was good to meet up with some people I had not seen for a while and to meet new friends.I decided to try a bit of narrow depth of field images with the macro lens close in and where possible shoot through leaves and flowers etc. I was shooting with the Canon R Mirrorless Camera with the Canon EF L Series Macro Lens fitted. Mostly at f/2.8

The last three photos where taken while I waited to be picked up by Sue at Trumpington Park and Ride. These taken with the Fuji X100V in multiple Exposure mode and clanging the white balance in camera. The Fuji produces images with different feel to that of the Canon. It has a 35mm equivalent focal length lens. The first of the three I have played with in Photoshop. The other two are straight form the camera with colour adjustments in Lightroom only.
