Flowers 2013

...second SAL 28-75.

... and no tripod?

I think you succeeded with very nice bokeh in the first Birma, the blue could be a tad larger perhaps but hey you can’t have everything. Some lively highlights on the flowers in the second and it is a bluebell photo with a difference, boy that sun packs a punch blink blink.

Thanks Sury

Thanks Doc. I think they are all tripod shots. I didn't leave Steady Shot on did I?

Thanks Greg. It was a very bright sunrise over the top of the hill. Definitely a time for EVF rather than risking eyes .

[Birma]

I hope there is still some appetite for Bluebells as I have more (From a different wood this time.)

First, for Greg, hoping to maximise that blue bokeh .

Nothing fancy....

[Greg Beetham]

Ah that is one with a much larger blue bokeh Birma well done, and the next one is great too.
Very nicely taken Rose Sury.

Very nice rose Sury. Almost 3-D on my screen. ;^)

[sury]

Thank you Greg and DA. It does have that 3-D effect, come to think of it, DA.

[Birma]

Thanks DA, Sury and Greg

More nice warm colours from the West Coast Sury .

[Birma]

... and the Bluebells chime on

First of all, another one for Greg

I like the fresh green colours of the new leaves, alongside the Bluebells in this one.
