Bluebells at West Wood. 6x9 back on 5x4 view camera. Fuji 160C 90mm lens, f/22 1 second |
Today I had a day out to take some cameras for a walk and to expose some silver to some photons :)
The morning started on Martinsell Hill just south of Marlborough, and then progressed across the road to West Woods.
The bluebells are very late this year and luckily, although just passed their best, were still very much in flower.
I took some of the pictures in colour, just capturing the blue of the flowers. Others I used paper negatives which respond most to green light; the result is that for some of the pictures the foliage glows white, looking very much as if it had been taken with infra-red film!
I could not resist putting a pinhole plate in the camera either and allowing the wide angles and wind to do its work with the long exposures.
