For christmas I got my dad a 28mm fixed 2.8 lens for his (used to be mine) Sony a100. It is a great little lens and even though it is nice and wide, I got him an adaptor ring so he could use the wide angle attachment he has on the 28mm, making it even wider. The great thing about the wide angle attachment is that it can also do halfway decent macro shots. I had never had much luck doing macro with it before because it would only fit onto my kit lens which is just terrible, but now that I have the adaptor ring it fits on his 50mm minolta lens and the 28mm minolta lens. So, after being so inspired by the garden with my 135mm 2L lens i decided to give some macro another go. This was taken with the macro on the 50mm and I am actually really happy with it. It is whacky and a stuff. This was taken right after it rained which is the explanation for the water.

Clematis from the Greek (klema) for branchlet. / There are over 400 wild varieties of native clematis, in fact most countries in the temperate regions of the northern hemisphere and to some extent in the southern hemisphere have species of clematis. For example, C. alpina is found in eastern Europe and C. cirrhosa in Mediterranean countries, C. vitalba in Britain, C. montana in India, C. lanuginosa in China, C. patens in Japan, C. aristata in Australia, C. afoliata in New Zealand and C. virginiana in America / Early plant collectors brought examples back to europe, which were soon to enrich it’s flora. One of the first to be introduced to England was C. viticella, which was brought from Spain in 1569. This was followed in 1596 by three other European species, C. cirrhosa, C. integrifolia and C. flammula. They were all used in hybridising programmes to produce new varieties. It was not until the 19th century that the stock for the large flowered clematis, which is so admired today was introduced from China, C. lanuginosa for example and C. patens from Japan. The Victorians took to clematis in a big way and the pioneering nursery of Jackmans once held a list of 343. Unfortunately the then little understood disease wilt, decimated the commercial stocks and it was not until after the second world war that nurseries were once more able to pursue serious large scale propagation. However the legacy of the Victorians does live on, many of the popular large flowered clematis available today come from the last century. Nikon D60 / Lens: Nikon 18-55mm / f/5.6 1/60 ISO:360
