Recently we attended a plant fair at East Ruston Old Vicarage. Needless to say my wife bought loads of plants and I took loads of photos:<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>Most of my photography was to take photos for the owners to use for publicity purposes.\u00a0 I tried to capture both general views and specific details. This first photo shows one of the better displays at one of the stalls. A problem with taking such photos is to capture the shot without people moving into the scene – I had to wait and choose my moment. Even then I couldn’t take every image I wanted.<\/p>\n

This next photo shows the main avenue of stalls at the fair:<\/p>\n

\"Plant<\/a>As you can see it was quite busy (hence the difficulty getting ‘people-free’ views). I did, however, take several shots for the organisers of individual stalls with customers (I am not showing these on the web) and more general views such as that below:<\/p>\n

\"view<\/a>This is at the field at the end of the main avenue – here was the marquee (you can just see the corner of it on the left), a BBC Radio Norfolk van and several stalls.<\/p>\n

The lighting conditions were surprising difficult – it was very windy which caused a lot of movement and the sky was difficult to expose without it going to white – most of these photos were derived from underexposed ‘Raw’ files – I tend to take 3 bracketed photos in both JPG and Raw formats to give me room for manoeuvre.<\/p>\n

At the fair was a local basket maker showing his craft:<\/p>\n

\"Basket<\/a>I did ask his permission to take some photos…<\/p>\n

Finally, we couldn’t visit the fair without a look around the gardens:<\/p>\n

\"a<\/a>This shows a display by the conservatory – I am both pleased and surprised at how it turned out. Those pots were amazing<\/p>\n

More photos can be seen in the gallery<\/a>.<\/p>\n
