Picasso's bells
We have not had many bluebell wood images this year, so here is one from walking my dog last night. I went out with the intention of capturing my local red kites (hence the equipment specs) but got home from work too late and missed the setting sunlight to light up the kites. So sought some solice in the stereotypical long exposure drag technique.

Olympus E-3, 50-200mm with 1.4tc at 85mm, iso 100, 1/1.6s at F8,
-1ev. Hand held dragged from bottom upwards. Full frame

Hi Mike,

My initial thoughts on opening were "OH ! thats nice" So it's a winner for me! Great technique and vision in this one, Well done.

Agree with Phil H, City boys would love this on the office wall !!!!

Regards

Rob

I really want to not like this; however it has great colour, and it does grab the eye and works for some reason, not sure why though!
