A complete change of tac, my trip included a visit to the 'Scottish Explorers' garden at Pitlochry. Despite not really being prime flowering season there were some wonderful blooms on display. I tried to do them justice but didn't succeed in all cases.

On the Saturday evening before we left for Skye last Tuesday morning, I was browsing on eBay, I spotted a Nikkor 105mm Micro f4 "FILM" lens @ £33.50 I kept my eye on it and bid for and won it that night. Not sure if the "FILM" bit put people off but what a bargain! Even more of a surprise was it arrived minutes before we left for Skye.

This is one of the first images I have made with it... Well worth the extravagance I think! I doubt if it will ever see film again but it works very well with the D3.

o.O

D3, Nikkor Micro 105mm f4; @ 1/640 sec, f5.6 ISO 1600.
