Holme Gardens in May

Aquilegia longissima.

Another warm morning. The gardens at Holme looked lovely in the sunshine, but this harsh light is horrible for flower photography. My camera just couldn't cope with the light/shadow contrast, and none of my pictures came out well.










The beds of alliums and bearded irises were spectacular.



Peonies & sweet williams in the Kitchen Garden being too HOT PINK! for my poor camera:





The season of flouffy roses is upon us:

The photos give a good impression of the gardens and the wonderful flowers, despite the light.

Thanks!

I feel like I'm really struggling with this new camera, and I don't know whether it's just that we've had horrible harsh light since I bought it, or whether it just doesn't have the dynamic range of my old camera.
