Mrs C and I went on a surprise trip to see a poppy field in full bloom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She got a heads-up via a facebook group that gives out shouts for anything special happening in and around London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was outside London but not too far, Clothall Common Baldock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tapp’s garden center is across the road and we both highly recommend you visit the cafe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The young lady there makes homemade cakes and the Ginger scones with butter and honey are in a league of their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We then nipped across the road and had a great time taking these images of a massive field of Poppies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whilst shooting these photographs we met a nice chap who was getting used to his new DJI Maverick 2 drone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It had to land due to the battery nearly giving up and as it did I had a go of capturing it in flight in front of me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The settings for the Hasselblad 907x with 45mm lens were iso 200, 1\/350, and f\/4.8 as per the metadata in the raw file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not too shabby if I say so myself especially handheld with the stabilisation in the lens or camera body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow, 22.06.2024, I am off to Margate again but this time to take images of the many scooters that will be there for the Margate Scooter Rally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A video and post will be popped up as soon as I can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A very nice day was had by Mrs C and I and now we have a couple of places to revisit very shortly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wishing you well<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
