Bluebell Forest

Mohain · 11 May 2006 at 11:27

I went back to the forest to see if the bluebells had come out last weekend and the place a riot of blue! ... and people with cameras!! :rolleyes:

Was bizarre, a bloke with a Large format 5x4 camera, professionals doing family portraits, artists painting, cameras on tripods everywhere! The light was quickly changing and I had to retouch people out of a couple of pics. These three pics were taken within an hour of each other before the light went really murky and it started to rain ...

C & C welcome.

Cheers,

Mohain

Thanks Hoodi. I had many more crap ones than good ones. It is difficult getting a good shot of them.

Steveo, that looks like it could be the same place! This was shot in the Ashridge Estate in Herts (or it could be Bucks).

Cheers,

Wow, beautiful photos. Mohain can you tell me please what settings did you use?

Thanks

1 & 3: f8, 1/10, ASA100 @ about 50mm
2: f8, 1/14, ASA100 @ about 70mm

All shot on s9500 with polarizer. Main processing (amongst other things) is a Provia action set layer at 40% and a gaussian blur layer at about the same. I like to present a pleasing photo rather than a faithfull representation of a scene. I know it's not to everyones tastes

Thanks for the comment, I appreciate them

Cheers,

Mohain
