Chelsea Flower Show

[Mike Farley]

In addition to my Photo of the Day taken at the event, I made a photographic record of my visit to the Chelsea Flower Show last week. The results can be seen in a couple of blog entries on my website.

I have one more image to publish from the show, which is one of my favourite shots from the day. I am writing a separate article about it in respect of the lens I used. It cost just £25 on eBay and I wanted to see how it would perform in a real life* situation. Some of the shots taken with the lens are in the second of my blog posts.

* I nearly wrote "real world", but this is the Chelsea Flower Show. Everything there has been manipulated and preened to be at its best, flowers can be on display out of season and many of the gardens are flights of fantasy. A specacle yes, but reality often takes a back seat.
