Bluebells in St Albans, Hertfordshire, April 2022




The above were taken on my Sony, with ND filter and shutter speeds between 0.8 and 1.6 seconds.
Below are a couple taken using the Slow Shutter app on my iPhone 11, the first with a shutter speed of 8 seconds plus high blur factor, and the second set at 15 seconds with low blur. They are not the same quality as the image from my Sony camera, but it’s very easy to use and you can watch the image growing on the screen: if you want less blur slow your movement, if you want more blur keep moving, or move faster.


Now over to all of you. Do come and join us in our Saturday six-word musings.
I’ll admit that many of us openly break the numeric rule and share far more words (all excellent of course!) so the key rule is to have a title of six words – and then create around that the post that you desire! Perhaps in bunches of 6 words if you’re feeling inspired.
To join the challenge, please put a link in your post to the URL of this post. Then come back here and leave us a comment. If you have any problems with linking, just put your own URL into the comment. And do feel free to socialise digitally – tweet, instagram, flickr, etc. with the hashtags #SixWordSaturday and #6WS.

Your photos look like impressionist paintings. Exquisit.
I happen to come across different blue flowers yesterday – admittedly the effect is due to “photoscaping”: https://picturesimperfectblog.wordpress.com/2022/04/23/forget-thou-not-the-other-blues/

I love doing this to the bluebells as a normal photo never captures the full blueness.
I enjoyed your blues too, Elke

Absolutely!
Same here – they are the real sign of summer for me, and the blues are more calming than the splashes of yellow and white that precede them
