In the morning I went with Sue and Sheila from the Camera Club, to Candle Gardens in the grounds of the Guernsey Museum. Parking in St Peter Port, it is a bit of a puffy walk up the hill to get into the gardens on the outskirts of the town. The old Victorian greenhouse had an exhibition of orchids, and I was surprised at how much was still in flower in the gardens. I did some straight photography and also a few multiple exposures of the plants.

While I was in the quarry at Les Vardes, I made a few multiple exposure photographs, using the Nikon D500 and different blending modes.

Another day, another video. this one is rather different and set on London's South Bank. The pictures were taken in April this year.

I spent some time looking at the Georgia O'Keeffe exhibition. It was very crowded and a little hot while I was walking round, but it was extremely interesting and inspiring and she certainly was a free spirit, devoted to her work. when I had come out of the gallery I sat on a bench opposite the escalators. I had just bought a new 10 stop neutral density filter and wanted to try it out. So I took several multiple exposures of the people on the escalators and then moved out to the turbine hall to repeat the exercise. The filter was a fairly cheap SRB one, but I was very pleased with the lack of colour cast it provided. Not that that mattered for this type of picture as I usually alter the colours in them anyway.

I discovered a poppy field not too distant from my house and set out to photograph the flowers any which way. Some of the poppies, at the edge of the field were coming up between linseed which had flowered and gone to seed and was very yellow and bobbly. None of the linseed was in flower but I would like to go back again when it is out, although it may look rather garish. As you can see it was a cloudy day.  Here are some of the results. The end ones were taken using in-camera multiple exposure and some intentional camera movement. Please excuse the number of pictures, I am a lousy editor.
