Last months picture of the month was of a poplar tree. This is a 160 year old tree and one of the oldest poplar’s in the UK.
Boultham Park in Lincoln is a popular park with an indoor and outdoors bowling green. Swings and slides etc for the children, a bandstand and a large lake.
This used to be the Ellison Estate but was turned into a park for the use of the people of Lincoln. You can read about its history here.
I spend the morning walking around the park taking pictures. I had my Nikon Zf and a Voigtländer M to Z Adapter. Attached to the adapter was my Leica Elmar-M 24mm f/3.8. Despite what you might think with its slow aperture of f/3.8, it really is a stunning lens. Many people think the wide angle range starts at 24mm, while 28mm, 35mm and 50mm are more street photography lens then true wide angles.
I visit this park quite often as I have family nearby. You will find me wondering round with either a large telephoto shooting the wildlife on the lake, or I might just have a wide angle, attached to either my Leica or Nikon Zf.
These two wildlife shots were taken a few years ago with a D200 and an 70-200mm f/2.8.
