South Downs
We took another walk to The Chattri, past sheep and cows.

Dividing the Frame
An exercise in dividing the frame, using the specular highlights on the water to place the brighter part below the dividing line instead of above

Another image from my recce for “dividing the frame” photographs.
Flight of the Langoustine
I’ve photographed Hove Plinth before, but now from a different angle with more sea and the flight of a seagull. I was scouting the viability of this path for a “dividing the frame” group shoot.

Shadow and Reflection
Hide Out
We sat in a hide and gazed through the window slots at this peaceful pond or lake. As a gentl breeze blew across the top of the water, specular highlights shimmered towards us. Impossible to capture the movement in a still photograph, I still attempted to get the magic of the scene.

Wakehurst Botanic Garden
Idyll
In the Garden
A couple days after our hike from Devil’s Dyke (about 3 weeks ago, now), friends who were members took us to see the Wakehurst Botanical Garden. I carried 2 cameras: one with a 16-55mm zoom (24 – 82mm equivalent) and the other with the 60mm macro (90mm equivalent). It was hard not to take lots of pretty pictures which I’ll be showing here over the next few days.
Rapeseed
As we got closer to Hangleton we were struck by the bright yellow flowers which Google told us (and not for the first time, such is the nature of our online addictions and distractions) was rapeseed.
Descent
As we descended from the Devil’s Dyke, we found ourselves on the Dyke Railway Trail, with views of the countryside and farm animals, out to the English Channel and Hove on the coast.
Cloud Cover
I liked the way the clouds appeared to follow the line of the Spring blossoms.
