Something a little different for me….

    Went to the forest at the weekend hoping to shoot the bluebells, but I was a week early. Decided to have a little fun with a few flower close-ups instead….

    1/6sec f4
    ISO50
    100 mm macro lens

    Stunning capture Steven. Great shallow depth of field and good composition with strong colours etc.

    For information, where do you recommend for a good woods with bluebells?

    Thanks Ross.
    I found it very difficult to compose & focus on this one.
    I really have to admire those who specialise in this type of photography. It’s a lot harder than it looks! Something I didn’t appreciate until I tried it myself.

    Gorgeous composition Steven with stunning colour and dof.
    Really really nice macro work. Can’t fault it.

    Apologies Ross :oops:
    I didn’t actually see the bold text you typed at the bottom of your 1st comment!! :lol:

    Portglenone Forest is your spot, without a doubt.
    I’d reckon anytime from this weekend onwards should be good – I’d say the most of them should be out in bloom by then.

    Thanks for that Steven – funny enough I seem to recall someone in the camera club mentioning that last year (although I never saw any photos of it).

    I love how the stems seem to come right out of the image because of the dof. Nicely done, Steven.

    Cheers for that Robert.
    It’s interesting the effect you can get when you play about with the DOF.

    Absolute rubbish…stick to landscapes :lol: Love it, love the gradual sharpness leading to the tips of the stamen and the colour is great :wink:
