I've never found rhododendrons easy to photograph - and I still don't ! But could not resist this shot of clouds of them floating through a local public garden ( sadly I couldn't capture the delicious aroma !! )

Canon 400D, Tamron 55-200mm lens @ 76mm, 1/500 sec @ f13, - 0.67ev, ISO 400, hh.

From your title, looking at the thumbnail I fully expected to see clouds over trees on a mountain side. :smile:

Sweet, Ian. I like the dof. The larger version really shows well.

This pano crop really works well for this spread. The thumbnail does indeed look like it would go well in the Landscape Gallery! Excellent highlight/shadow control.

Definitely like the Pano crop Ian, along with the soft colors and light, also, very nice detail.

Interesting shot Ian. I like the strong presence of the stand of flowers on the left of the frame backed up by the others on the right. I wish that I could try shooting these beauties!

A fine shot. I like the cloud analogy for this.
