wild beauty

Wild flowers are everywhere throughout the fields and on the roadsides in Turkey this May! As you can imagine I didn’t get far on my bike…
:)

A first macro on a borrowed Nikon coolpix 4800 compact and the step up in quality from my usual Fuji Finepix A500 shows! (I was never able to give it back and came to an amicable arrangement…lol…) Taken on macro setting with selftimer and using a pocket sized 4” tripod..

Straight from the camera apart from slight cropping and a great reminder of the swathes of these beautiful flowers

wild beauty belongs to the following groups:

    Wonderful shot. We’ve had fabulous swathes (is that the right word?) if these lovely flowers. They seem so delicate but just bounce in the breeze.

  • dinghysailor1 replied

    thanks my friend – you’re so kind and i’m thrilled you like it.. it was more of a lucky capture really with an old borrowed compact nikon and a 3” pocket tripod in turkey.. but am so glad it came out – i adore poppies and swathes of wild flowers and they were just everywhere around us that holiday..
