Bluebells in King's Wood

A visit to King's Wood in Challock, Kent, is usually on the cards at this time of year, purely for the display of bluebells, but as is often the case there is no guarantee that each annual event will be the same as the last. There are several places in the wood there are no bluebells to be seen, but there is enough going on to warrant the camera coming out of the bag

Whether this is down to the harshness of early spring, or that Nic and I are just too early, is a moot point. We dutifully take the standard shots of what's on offer, but it is at the end of the walk that I see the opportunity to get 'creative'. Developing my initial experiment in March with camera movement during exposure, this time I have more colour and shape to work with.


12-24mm f/4 AF-S Nikkor. 1/10 second at f/11. Matrix metering and manual exposure. ISO 100
