| An air frost presented some interesting macro opportunities yesterday. First time I’ve used Sony’s 90mm macro and it took some fathoming. It’s a basic 90mm lens that only works in true Macro when you go into manual focus mode. I really should have spent more time perfecting it but it was at least -100C, and in my slippers, I wasn’t hanging about.  Click here to comment on this image.

A beautiful adult male great spotted woodpecker came to the feeders today and sat in bright sunlight on a branch. A perfect image…..but not with a bl*dy 90mm macro lens on the camera

chrisbet wrote:Interesting - I must have an experiment with macro again! The Sony macro lens is a bit weird….but nice weird. As previously mentioned, it’s a normal functioning 90mm lens in auto focus mode that has a close focusing distance of around 18”. Not exactly macro! But switching it into manual focus mode (which is preferable for macro anyway) and it suddenly allows focusing down to a couple of inches! It just won’t let you use auto focus at the close distance. That said it has a lovely zoom function which kicks in as soon as you turn the manual focus ring. The significantly enlarged view makes it really easy to get accurate focus. The limitations of these shots were due to the old favourites…..too large an aperture used reducing dof and not using a tripod to keep the camera at the focussed distance. The steady shot does operate but in my experience not as well in macro as with more distant subjects. (I think Nikon said that with their 105mm micro lens the lens stabilisation doesn’t work at distances closer than 1 metre.) I was considering selling this 90mm macro but have decided it will stay for a little longer. It depends on how much appetite I have for perfecting macro.

| Is the Mulberry tree the same as a Mulberry bush only bigger? My father had a bush and it cropped heavily every year with large lush sweet berries….that the bugs and wasps surprisingly left alone! Or maybe it was my Dad standing guard over them as they ripened. lol It was at least 90years old and we were sad to lose it when Dad died and the house was sold. We left an inventory of all the garden shrubs for the incoming people. Sadly they were property developers and put a huge decking with bifold doors across the back so we don’t know if the aged Mulberry Bush still survives.

| There are lots of different varieties of mulberries but their form depends on how you grow them. You could create a bush by pruning - they grow fast, mine puts on at least 4 or 5 feet each year. If the birds would leave me any fruit I would make wine from them - it is delicious!

| I suppose this is an any season phenomenon. Anyone else up at 1am last night with their iPhone? Tried using Sony and have to say results were lack lustre difficult to get settings right. Good old iPhone knew exactly what setting to use. Although the 2 sec exposure was too much of a challenge for hand holding on some photos.  Click here to comment on this image.

| Lovely flowers and a crop ….with prospects. Graham you could have combined your ‘crop in the hand’ photo alongside the Mesembryanthemum flower in one image. They both have a common geometric content, with a circular splayed out appearance and a rich centre. Sorry, getting carried away with design memories and I haven’t taken my medications yet.

| Cold Autumns seem to be disappearing from much of the UK, probably due to global warming. The milder, wetter, windy conditions we have seen in recent years mean the sudden shock to trees has been avoided, resulting in a slow and less dramatic colour change in foliage. Well that's my take and excuse for not grabbing lots of better autumn leaf colours this year. The event was over in a flash. Mildly discoloured leaves blown to the ground before any time to mature in plain sight. Here are a few shots where I really had to work hard on camera angles to fill the frame with colour, from the somewhat bedraggled widely dispersed specimens and those who had already given up their autumn display for 2024.

There are lots on there but the birds ruin them and the ones we get off are very substandard compared to supermarket ones. Mind you, I hack it to death each year so it’s more like a hedge now and we don’t water or feed it so maybe it’s paying me back with what it thinks is sufficient!!
