In my local park, there are a few small areas of semi-natural woodland, with an attractive ground flora in Spring consisting of carpets of Ramsons and Bluebells, with smaller numbers of other flowers such as violets, primroses, etc. Difficult to get a pleasing photo of these woods due to their parkland location and the number of paths and litter-bins nearby, so I went for an 'impressionistic' effect with these two pictures - by moving the camera up or down during an exposure of about one second:-
Ramson woodland:
Bluebell woodland:
I then took some more conventional photos of the local flowers:-
Red Campion:
Violet:
Bluebell:
Ramsons:
Interesting Idea with the impressionistic photos. Nice photo's all round .
ReplyDeleteWow - 6 great pictures. I love the abstract woodland shots.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments, guys. I really prefer painting to photography, but, sadly, can't draw or paint to save my life. The simple act of moving the camera during exposure is about as near to 'art' as I can get!
ReplyDeleteBeatiful pictures, amazing blog!!! Congratulations!!

Thank you, Frank from Barcelona! I will add some more content just as soon as I get my computer problems sorted out!
ReplyDeletereally enjoyed looking at your blog, great photos.
ReplyDeletethank you for visiting mine.
Shake and click...interesting effect Jeremy. Would you care to share what lens you were using for the wildflower closeups? Cheers Frank.
ReplyDeleteHi Frank,
ReplyDeleteThe lens used was a Tamron 90mm macro - a very nice, sharp, lens - great for flora and butterflies; although have to get pretty close to the latter for some close-ups!
Very clever.....love the impressionist photographs. I must try that, although I fear that it will not look like yours.
ReplyDeleteI love our native wild flowers and grow many in my garden.....
The red campion image is genial. I also like the artitic blur on the first to ;)
