Blues bells, in my garden. You can see how they got their name!
Tech: I focused through an old binocular lens to get closer than normal. In photoshop, i adjusted in curves, then in levels where i enhanced the blue amongst other things. Unsharp mask in lab colours/lighteness at 110%. To reduce the noise in the back ground (i shot this at iso 100) i selected the background with the magic wand, and applied a very small Gaussian blur (0.4). Saved for web. |

Ahh, the invaders :-) This is a shot of the Spanish Bluebell, a species introduced into the UK a while ago. There's a bit more info about finding out which you're looking at in my note -here on TE-. I'm impressed with the amount of detail you've captured and using a binocular lens was an inspired substitute for a close up filter! My only suggestion is that I'd probably have taken this in vertical format, or maybe just crop a little off the left? Anyway, very good shot :-D
so perfect, so clear and beautiful, Bryan!
this is something i miss, flowers in the gardens... would love to have it on my wall... better, to see these flowers 'live'
thanks for sharing.
Very nice shot! Lovely flowers there and very useful note! congratulations
