(dave) my lovely girlfriend drives to work in Basingstoke everyday (lucky girl) and on one of those journeys she noticed that a lavender farm along the way was having an open day.
The farm is in Selbourne and only has four open days a year, I took my new tripod along for a bit of practise on shooting HDR amongst the lavender fields.
It wasn’t quite Provence in France, but worth a go anyway. Lots of Bees and other bugs knocking around too.
