Woodland walk

I went out on Monday looking for Bluebells to shoot, but as the afternoon wore on, they dropped down my list of priorities hehe!

Let me know if you have any problems viewing these shots, as i know i sometimes have difficulty seeing pics others post from Photobucket...

Sorry i just noticed i posted this in the wrong forum?! Can a mod move it to wildlife please?

Nice set, Scott The bluebells aren't great this year that's for sure, they seem to be very thin.

Cheers Chris.

No idea about the Bluebells to be honest; last year was the 1st time i really paid them any attention, and they seem just as thick here!?! I just had trouble finding a decent angle to shoot them from; i'm trying to break out of my comfort zome as much as possible this year.

Any thoughts on the sharpness? I was using the 400 without a tripod for some of these shots, something i've never had any success with before... Part of me was kicking myself for not bringing it (the tripod that is), but i do feel i've been limiting myself somewhat with the tripod (tend to lose a lot of the spontaneity).

I appologise if that's a lot of senseless drivel, i've been out on the P***.....

I might have to pop down then and have a look myself. I'm with you too, I'm trying to do a lot of different shots this year, it's paying off too as it's a lot more fun.

Sharpness looks very good in the last four, it's harder to tell in the first four really, are they crops?

Yeah pop down mate. I'll go back if the weather holds up tomorrow, and get a wider shot, to give you more of an idea. It's a very small bit of woodland, but might be worth the drive!?!

Well spotted on the crops (a couple are quite severe) hehe! I didn't give too much thought to composition when i took the shots, and all the Deer ended up too central.

Edit* Actually thinking about it, #2 is the full frame.

Great shots, beautiful colors, perfect timing.


Pedro.

Thanks Pedro.
