HDR images of the garden

What are they?

High-dynamic-range imaging (HDRI or HDR) is a set of techniques used in imaging and photography to reproduce a greater dynamic range of luminosity than possible using standard digital imaging or photographic techniques.
HDR images can represent a greater range of luminance levels found in real-world scenes, from direct sunlight to faint nebula. It is often achieved by capturing and then combining different exposures of the same subject matter.[1][2][3][4]
Non-HDR cameras take photographs with a limited exposure range, resulting in the loss of detail in bright or dark areas. HDR compensates for this loss of detail by capturing multiple photographs at different exposure levels and combining them to produce a photograph representative of a broader tonal range.

The pond area

The pond has been revamped, the edges were too steep and the liner was too exposed and looked unnatural
since this is to be a wild area i lowered the pond edges and created beach areas for the birds to bathe and and little animals to get out after falling in.



The pond edges were too steep and the liner was exposed.




The pond needed a fence, something rustic and in keeping with wild.



One pond wasn't enough so I added another.




It doesn't take long to mature.


Looking good!!



Solar oxygenator added for extra boost.

The plants in the cottage borders are growing quickly, won't be long before you can't see any earth.








The straw bale raised bed is growing potatoes, strawberries and carrots.


It's not the tidiest of setups but it should be productive!!



The strawberries won't need straw around them they are growing in it!!


Potatoes pocking through.


Clematis looking good!




Hadrian's wall has a few heather added, the bees love them.




Everything is looking very green.



The Horse-chess-nut will be in blossom soon,expecting 1000's of bees.



A walk round the garden.
