Nice Spring Flowers Pictures photos

Spring flowers - HDR experiment

Image by Hachimaki
I don't normally tweak very much in the pictures I take, but today I had a long play around with Photoshop layers and multiple exposures. This shot of a basket of flowers looks much more vivid and colourful once it's been accentuated by the layering process, which gives it a high dynamic range (HDR) that couldn't have been captured with a single exposure. It helps that the current hot weather in London has brought pretty flowers out in the first place, of course!

Despite being on a piece of ground trampled solid by the dogs; being surrounded by stones and weeds; and being hit by late snowfalls - somehow this flower has made it through to welcome Spring!

(See the photo from this day in 2008.)



Ascott House Gardens, Buckinghamshire, UK | National Trust gardens with paths through parkland lined with spring flowers (12 of 22)

Ascott House Gardens, Buckinghamshire, UK: The attractive gardens at Ascott House, a UK National Trust property in Buckinghamshire, England have an extensive mixture of formal, informal and natural garden features.

A visit to Ascott House provides a lot of variety and different types of garden environment. It is particularly impressive in spring time with massed plantings of spring bulbs as far as the eye can see. The wide herbaceous borders in summer are excellent too and all year interest is provided by the land art in the Lynn garden.

This is a photo of a path through open woodland filled with flowering narcissi.

Details Features range from fields of daffodils, narcissi and fritillaries beneath mature trees in spring; flowering meadows of tulips and spring bulbs; traditional English herbaceous borders with stunning planting in high summer; colorful bedding plant schemes surrounding impressive and grand fountains (such as the Venus and Cupid / Eros fountains by the famous American sculptor Thomas Waldo Story); a picturesque lily pond and thatched summerhouse; neatly clipped yew hedges and even a topiary sundial.

A relatively new feature of the garden is an innovative area devoted to ‘land art’ or ‘earth sculpture’ where mounds of earth and ditches (echoing the earth works of Iron Age Britain on the nearby Chiltern Hills) are planted with grasses, ornamental trees and combined with tasteful water features. The many shades of green are soothing to the eye and give this part of the garden (called the Lynn Garden) a very tranquil atmosphere.

Location: Ascot House, Wing, near Leighton Buzzard, Buckinghamshire, LU7 0PS, UK

UK OSGB Map Reference: OS165:SP891230

Links: A brief description of the house and gardens, together with opening details, is given on the National Trust, Ascott House website.

These flower pots could not go into the single boxes that I had prepared earlier - boxes were too small.
I had to deliver in a normal cake box, see an earlier picture.

Macro flower experiment

This macro involves holding a 50mm fixed lens backwards infront of a zoom lens (105mm in this case) to get a super zoom.

Quite fun - very tricky to get in focus properly.

No photoshop here today (for once!)

Since Animal Crossing has been kind of boring so far, my boyfriend bought me Harvest Moon for Game Boy Advance (since the DS version crashes so much). There's a lot more to do in Harvest Moon, but it's still really repetitive.
