A Trip to the South

Around this time last year I spent a week in Newquay with my family and from here I travelled to both St. Michaels Mount in Penzance and the Eden Project near St. Austell for the opportunity to take some photographs.

I shall let St. Michaels Mount have its own post and here I shall upload a few of my images from the Eden Project:

I took these images on my Canon 450D with the standard 18-55mm lens which came with the camera and once again, I would have used the auto function on the camera or the preset functions that are available.

Here I discovered that I enjoyed taking macro images, which I soon learned is that the image taken is a close up of the object being photographed.

Considering I did only have my standard lens, I am quite pleased even now with the results I managed to get that day.

I am also glad that my camera came out working after we went into our first of the domes, which was the rainforest dome. ...warm, sticky and no breeze to cool down in. The lens fogged up when we first stepped in!
