The yearly RHS Flower Show at Tatton Park, Cheshire is a well attended event but I was surprised to see so many people waiting for the opening on such a poor July day. There was complete cloud cover and spasmodic light rain all day. I used three lenses in the main - Sigma zooms 12-24, 18-125 and 70-300 . I also used the SB800 flash extensively sometimes bouncing it off the Marquee roofs to soften the lighting. As you will see I took a variety of shots - record, candids, close-ups and pattern pics. Despite the poor weather, flower and plant lovers were there in force. The northern version of the Chelsea flower show had plenty of inovative gardens to show visitors.

One area was set out as a wildflower meadow and having bought several pots of the flowers on the closure of the show I then planted them in my garden and used the Nikkor 105mm macro lens for the six close-ups below. The SB800 off camera with the wide panel on provided the light source.
I also shot several Bonzai trees. One of which I have cut out of the existing background and placed them in three different environments below
