Bluebell walk

Gallery: FloraPosted September 29, 2015108 views8 comments

I realise that this is not the normal type of image posted on this gallery but this view is all about the bluebells and for me there is no better way to spend a sunny spring morning than to take this bluebell walk through the UK lake district mountainside.

Canon 7D, Canon 24-105mm. 1/100th sec at f16 1nd iso200. 2 images stitched together to make a pano.

A wonderful look at this area, Graham. I like the idea and placement of the pathway just to the left here. Makes us wonder what is just around the curve ahead and bearing right around the carpet of bluebells. Very nice.

An inviting walk, truly! Following the path in my imagination just makes me itch to know what is around the bend. This would post equally well in Landscape, but I am glad you posted it here in Flora!devil

Very nice Graham.  I get a very good sense of the place with this photo.  Nice colors and depth too.

Wonderful subject and beautifully lit, Graham. Just an beautiful and inviting scene. The bright sky is distracting, but I don't see a preferable comp which excludes the sky because I would not want to cut the top of the tree in the urc. I also feel like I'd like to see more on the left of this panorama, but I assume you ended the left side where you did for good reason.

Thanks for your comments. As far as the composition goes I really wanted to show more of the bluebells to the right but still retaining the path but the crop was getting a bit long and thin. To the left of the path was a stone wall which might have added interest bue again the crop would would have been too drawnout. Graham

Love the pano composition, Graham - it does perfect justice to a lovely spread of flowers; I like the way the pathway lies out at the extreme L of the image, allowing the rise of bluebells to take the eye up to the top R.
