I have a new macro lens. It takes photos from 3cm to 7cm and it's amazing. Trying to take hand held photos is not easy as the picture keeps drifting in and out of focus as you move. With a tripod its fabulous . Tomorrow I go on a photo workshop in the Peak district. A group of us will be taken to a secret location to photograph wild orchids. It means a lot of walking and lying or kneeling on the ground but I'm sure it will be worth it. Hopefully if my photos turn out okay and I can try out the new lens.
Sunday is also another milestone for Ian and me. We will have reached our 40th ( Ruby ) wedding anniversary. Ian has always joked that if he had 'done me in' when he first married me he would now be a free man! I always tell him its better the devil you know etc etc.

Lens envy :-)
I've got an older Olympus 4/3 digital SLR. I'm hoping to buy an adapter and see if I can find some second hand OM lenses when we get to London, they will have to be used with manual focus and the viewfinder is a bit on the small side but worth a go.
Have a good trip, look forward to lots of new photos
