Bluebells at dawn ...

Posted by Ron (Saint Louis, United States) on 29 April 2009 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

In the quietest of all moments – just before dawn – I like to stand outside and wait for the light. This is what greeted me this spring morning.

Hi Ron - these colours are just outstanding. Two things about your tags that I'd like to ask: 1. what do you mean by 300d close-up, and 2. dv-technique?

Outstanding, Ron!

@Lesley: Thanks for your visit and kind words, Lesley ... I always appreciate your visits and insight. We do have an incredible zoo and botanical garden ... the MBG (botanical garden) is just a mile from my home, and I find great inspiration and subject matter there. The "Garden" opens at 7 a.m. on Wednesdays and Saturdays and the parade of photographers during those early hours is a sight to behold. Next time you're in town it would be lovely to meet you ... get in touch ... ron.
