Bluebells ~ Bulbarrow

Bluebells ~  Bulbarrow
This was taken on a very dark & misty rainy day in 2016. I thought the pictures from the most beautiful bluebell forest in the area would be rubbish, but the mist turned out to give a lovely backdrop to the flowers and trees....I did get very wet though!

aNNa schramm, m̌ ḫ, Makrofan, Bernhard Sonderhuesken and 82 other people have particularly liked this photo

By far the best bluebell picture I have seen this year Rosa. The mist softens the scene beautifully and has a distinctly blue tint to add to the atmosphere. Magnificent!!

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Doug Shepherd club
Thank you so much for your lovely comment Doug. I would go out in the same conditions again to get some photos of bluebells, but sadly unable to this year!
All the best & take care,

Oh whow! Rosa...this is a dream! I think, this photo can´t be better on a sunny day!

Thank you Tanja. Last year I took many photos on a sunny day in woods nearby, but without so much success. From that I learn...mist & rain is good for bluebell colour ;-))

Wow! This is a wonderful image Rosa............the way the bluebells and trees gradually fade into the mist is sublime and the diffused light is gorgeous.

I wish I'd taken this and I wish I could give you 10 stars..!!

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Keith Burton club
Thank you so much Keith. I tried so many settings whilst stood, getting very wet in the forest, but I was so pleased that I did. I don't think I could repeat the conditions and luck again.
Thank you very much for the virtual 10 stars ;-))

Bluebells are so difficult to photograph I find but you've really nailed it here. We're well off for bluebells around here and I've often been in Galloway where the woods are spectacular but I've never yet had a photograph as good as this one.
4 years ago.
Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Jean
They really are Jean. I find they never look as stunning as when you are stood amongst them or seeing them as you walk through a wood. I have never been able to get such an atmospheric picture of bluebells ever since. This picture was actually used in a calendar produced by a family run supermarket in Stalbridge, Dorset. I got a bottle of champagne, a tin of Roses and three calendars ;-))

Jean has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
How lovely that the supermarket used it and gave you such a pleasant reward.

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Jean
I don't know if you get The One Show in Scotland Jean, but the supermarket, called Dikes is on that news programme next week along with Sturminster Newton Mill, which has gone back into production of flour and supplying some local shops. I don't know which night it's on though. I don't think they do either yet.

A superb image Rosalyn, it's well managed wood no rubbish undergrowth and well spaced trees

Thank you Peter. I remember that the following year this section was fenced off. Maybe too many people were trampling the bluebells. It is all open now, as far as I know.

This is one of the best bluebell woods I have seen, Rosa. Normally the trees are coming into full leaf, but here you have naked branches allowing the bluebells to shine throughthe tree trunks. Just perfect.
