Oxeye Daisies (Canon EOS 5D Mark II, Sigma DG 105mm f/2.8 Macro lens, 1/3200 sec at f/2.8, ISO 100, tripod)
I have been without broadband since 25th June so have been delayed in posting any images.  These shots were taken on the 25th at the Plockton Aerodrome in a thin but very diverse grassland around the runway.  I have several sharp images of oxeye daisy already and wanted to try and capture a sense of motion in the image, especially as it was a bit breezy and difficult to get the images in sharp focus.  Ironically this image was taken at 1/3200 second so it should be pin sharp, but with the very shallow depth of field (f/2.8) and the difficulty of focusing, it has resulted in exactly the sense of movement I was seeking.  I have done very little to the image in terms of post-processing but included a little vignette to focus the viewer's eye on the flowers in the centre of the image.

Among the range of orchids in the aerodrome were some nice specimens of greater butterfly orchid as well so I took a few shots of them as well..

On the way home I stopped at Drumbuie to take a few shots of the species-rich croft meadows which were in full bloom.
