A New Machine II
Shoot bluebells for a few hours and the rest of the world seems a bland place.

I am working on an enormous backlogue of work and thought I would start at the point when I stopped procesing in favour of going out doors in the spring. I did a four week trip in various parts of the UK in May in search of spring fresh subjects, starting with this.

Sorry for my absence, I have been somewhat busy. After building a new machine to cope after the retirement of my P4, I thought I would process some stitched panos. Plenty to show you in the next few months. You can see anther version, 'A New Machine' over on Photo.net

that is a fantastic shot.

720 pixels really doesn't do it justice.

Beautiful contrast between the warm sunlit purples and cool shadows. Perfectly executed. Tristan

Wow, stunning! Really draws your eye into the image, beautiful colours, really atmospheric. It has a really 'fairy-tale' feel to it. Stunning! :toast: :toast:

One of (if not thee) finest bluebell vistas I have ever seen. It is simply breathtaking. Bags of atmosphere, light, depth, mood, and a magical quality. Brilliant!
