It Is Bluebell Season!

I love this time of year, and this year the bluebells have not disappointed. I have put all my new photography philosophy ideas into the bluebells this year, with focus stacking, keeping away from the lens wide open, looking for better light, better conditions and careful editing. The results I am very happy with!

I did not take many images, most of the photos on my camera are the focus brackets! I shot each composition at the wide end (16mm) or the long end (30mm). I had my trusty Z6ii along with my Tamron 16-30mm. I did use a CPL filter originally, but I took it off after a few shots as I did not like the conditions it was being used in.

All images have been edited in Luminar Neo.

I am really super-happy with the images, and I have already been asked for a print of one of them to hang on the wall, so I am happy with that! I might get back there with the macro lens next, make the most of this lovely time of year!

  1. Nice, Mark, don’t wait too long, they don’t bloom for very long, and it really depends on location, weather, shade and sun. With a bit of bad luck they’re gone within a week, if they’re in a good spot you might get up to four weeks out of them.

    1. Yeah, although they are very early this year, I think they’ve got a week, possibly two at most left.. Next week the weather looks good, so might pop up with that macro lens and get some close-up and distance shots. Thanks Marc.
