Backlit scenes are one of my favourite ways of photographing bluebells, as clouds move across the sky sections of the forest move from sunlight to shade, waiting for the right moment can produce dramatic results like this, it only lasts a short time before dappled light fills the area again, which is also has an appeal, the trouble is choosing which frame to use! https://www.richardthomas.photography/tower-bridge-twilight https://photos.on-this.website/wm/7MABjXECol-Z6Ls3cEdmXHdCmB0=/fwcb/1690794946/28048_1353531361593eb547ab3939.23146333.jpgTower Bridge Twilight London night photo looking across the Thames from the south bank near Tower Bridge towards the city. https://www.richardthomas.photography/bearstone-winter-peak-district https://photos.on-this.website/wm/WZtiH3JlA0Yoz8P0jd1n_RuzoII=/fwcb/1690794946/28048_36248046058eb5d85a47bf.jpgBearstone winter - Peak District Trees beneath Bearstone rock in the Peak District national park, taken after a fresh snowfall in wintertime. https://www.richardthomas.photography/oak-and-poplar-trees-winter https://photos.on-this.website/wm/-DIvtdclP-oS0fRRnLSKjrY8i-4=/fwcb/1690794946/28048_4730110226234e9a7ae998.jpgOak and Poplar trees Winter A small Oak with a few reamining leaves on the edge of a Poplar plantation with bare branches on the rows of trees. https://www.richardthomas.photography/mixed-grazing https://photos.on-this.website/wm/Ou7l55iOW0sLSQ5I1a-8JdqelC4=/fwcb/1690794946/28048_16972526715b22394774049.jpgMixed grazing Last light on the South Downs near Winchester in Hampshire on a summers evening in June. https://www.richardthomas.photography/pennies-from-heaven https://photos.on-this.website/wm/4OmtU6cuYTUHjnE1-liXTKkXInY=/fwcb/1690794946/28048_577471290590b5c6650ed90.03556660.jpgPennies from Heaven Conifer woodland on a misty Autumn morning, through the trees copper coloured Beech leaves look like coins falling from the sky onto the lush green moss that covers this part of the forest floor. https://www.richardthomas.photography/smeatons-boat https://photos.on-this.website/wm/Ii9Ga3dYl3HKUi2rRVmWls_S0A8=/fwcb/1690794946/28048_129500846164c15ac6aa7b7.jpgSmeatons boat A small weathered boat by the steps on Smeatons pier in St Ives, Cornwall. https://www.richardthomas.photography/bluebell-shade https://photos.on-this.website/wm/eLpqAl8ocRknYlMneAvJSEjr8x0=/fwcb/1690794946/28048_76060031258e7803681e7f.jpgBluebell shade Bluebells amongst the Beech trees in woods near to Micheldever in Hampshire, England.
