The conservatory at Roath Park

The conservatory at Roath Park is a must at only £1.40 entry. From the Terrapins to the exotic plants, from the little waterfall to the Koi Carp in the pond, there is so much to see. Sadly it was so cold outside that when we entered the change in temperature was so much that the cameras steamed up for a while, managed to get a few shots though, and I will visit again later in the year to try and take more

Obviously the photo below was not taken in the conservatory as dogs are not allowed, but in the car, even Misty enjoyed her day out

First visit of 2013 to Roath Park

Today the weather wasn't too bad and so off we went to Roath Park, We even took Misty with us. It wa cold walking around the park, but when the sun came out it was really nice. Once of the reasons for the trip was to try out the new lens I got the other day, and although I didn't use it that much I was pleased with the pictures I did get with it. Most of the time, however I had on my telephoto lens

 It was quite bright today, so I popped on my ND filter to blur the water in this shot

This was taken on the new Sigma 10-20mm lens and I really like this shot and I am looking forward to using this lens more in the near future.

I still have more photos to post of the Conservatory at Roath Park - so stay tuned

New lens is on it's way

Well I know things have been quiet on here lately and I will admit that this is because I hate going out in the dreary damp weather - freezing cold and snowing - yes that's fine but not the wet.
Anyway in order to give myself a kick I have ordered myself a wide angle lens, and I'm hoping the weather will cheer up enough for me to go and give it a test run. I'm really looking forward to going out and trying something new - so you never know - watch this space - I'm hoping that I will be posting new photos soon.
