Botanic Gardens!

We recently visited the Botanic Gardens as part of our Digital Media module to photograph some of the gardens beautiful scenery. These are some of the shots I discovered on my wander through the gardens.

I really like this shot of the sun dial in the gardens, with the cross in the background from Glasnevin church.

Our tutor Tony Murphy, with the darkened sky over head, it looks like rain!

I loved the Daffodils that were in full bloom around the gardens.

The droplets on the leafs were evident from the overnight rain and the dew from the morning.

In the one of the glasshouses I got this wonderful shot of a droplet waiting to drop from this bud.

Again in one of the glasshouses, these droplets formed after the water spray had come on creating a lovely effect on the green leaves.

This was a gorgeous mirror image that I got on the river that runs through the gardens, with just one small ripple in the upper third of the photo.

We recently went on a photography trip to the beautiful setting of the Botanic Gardens in Glasnevin, Dublin. We met at 9.30 on Thursday morning, 10th of April, at the front gates. It was a fresh, crisp morning in Dublin, and the dew was still evident on the grass as we wandered through the gardens, which left lovely effects on the plants as little droplets of water formed and stood still on their leafs. The sun was shining, but not for long, once it came to 12 mid-day, the first couple of rain began to fall, however I had a good 2 and a half hours of photography at that stage, and I was very pleased with some of the shots I achieved. We had to gather 4 different shots, one long distant, one medium, one close up, and a final macro shot, which is my personal favourite, as I love love the images that one can achieve in a macro shot.
