[lightpainter]

As we are fast approaching Bluebell time in the woods I thought I would wet your appetite and give you all some inspiration to get out there a take some captures!

This one is from last year.

I like it, whats the date that they start coming?

They have already started around here (Warrington)... I guess in the next week or so is going to be the best time.

I went out on sunday and found a few in flower

There are a few out 'down south' as well. I've found it varies even locally.

Noticed a couple of threads in 'Animals and Nature' if anyone's after some inspiration

i have a lovely patch lined up this year seen them last year and missed it when i went back so im determined this year to capture them, just hope i dont get shot from the farmer as its in his front garden

could you not go and knock on farmers door and ask to shoot his bluebells in a DSLR kind of way (instead of 12 bore) and avoid the whole "git orf moi laaaaaaaaand" conversation

I like the shot.

My patch will start showing in about 2 weeks.

good idea but if he says no then im buggered:shrug: so do as my dad taught me, shoot first then if anyone complains at least youve got a shot i can get it from outside his garden but if i need the better shot then of course i will knock and ask.
