Winkworth Arboretum

Visited Winkworth Arboretum for the first time today, a National Trust site. It has reasonably good facilities along with several walks, depending on how far and what difficulty your willing to take.

The leaves on some of the trees are starting to turn though not all, so did not see the full display. The weather also remained dull and flat, so photo opportunities were few and far between. This led me to play with the filters on the Zuiko Olympus OM 8mm F2.8 fisheye lens and with some of the art filters available in the Olympus OM-D EM-5, producing some very strange end results.

The first set of pictures are without any filter application.

Now with the filter application.

The red filter on the Zuiko Olympus OM 8mm F2.8 fisheye lens produced a very weird effect.
