So i ventured into the Botanical Gardens today....

posted by [personal profile] taperoo2k at 05:29pm on 20/03/2009 under , , , , ,
And i got an annual membership for £10. It costs £3 to get in, so the membership basically pays for itself in the long run.
I intend to visit the gardens a lot in the next few months.



Here we go.......





Well you can't really avoid seeing lots of pretty ladies in Oxford (lots of pretty boys as well for those into boys). Anyway she smiled at me i think and then laughed at the little girl who was chasing the ducks away, who i thought was going to fall in several times. -










Somebody needs rowing lessons -


















Oh and the Oxford castle has got some lame tourist trap of a market now....

I could list the ones I like but it would take too long. You really have an eye for composition- the pic with the moored boats with the rowers in the background is especially good. Well done, you! Might have to, err, "borrow" a few for icons. Let me know if that's okay.

Please post teasers every time you do a picspam, by the way- they really do catch the eye better than a cut does.

Added to memories, by the way!

Well i do pay attention to whatever is going on around me, with a view of how to frame it as a photograph. I'm not too good with compliments but thank you.

Feel free to use whichever of my pics you like, though with the usual icons credit stuff etc.

I will add teasers a bit more often now, usually i'm posting most of my pictures onto livejournal, avforums and a few other places all at the same time. So i tend to get a little lost with what i'm doing....

Me neither. But if you receive enough of them you'll get used to it eventually. ;)

Your photos are really really nice. On behalf of my girlfriend (who is starting with hobbyish photography) I want to ask you what camera and accessories you use. :)

The one little girl in that one picture reminds me of Lucy, from Narnia, what with the hair and uniform and everything.

Awesome stuff!!!

I took that at random, got bored of waiting for the ducks to start doing ducky things. They kicked off just after i'd put my camera away lol

Favourite for me in this set are the duck images - specially the malard in colour. The water looks just like silk :)

That'll be the sharpness of my telephoto zoom lens coming into play. I prefer using it over my kit lens (which i only use when i need to do wide angle stuff, must resist saving up and buying an L Series lens).

Not particulary. Red is however my second favourite colour after blue.
