Tuesday evening, my chauffeur-come-auntie drove my cousin Hannah and I to Coombe Abbey so I could photograph her again.
We were generating ideas on the way and decided to stop off at a rapeseed field. I'd thought about this before but was quite pessimistic about the blue sky clashing with the yellow of the rapeseed flowers because at times, it can make the photograph look quite dirty.
Still, we went and the outcome was far better than I had expected! I decided to shoot towards the sun, meaning that I had to alter the camera settings to compensate for the lighting.
Photographing this way is usually classed as "against the rules" - but hey, rules are only made to be broken! The results were that the sky was completely bleached out and the photograph was very soft.

After about 45 minutes we head back en route to Coombe Abbey.
When there, we made a quick stop at the redwoods. The evening light was slowly but surely fading and cast a brilliant sunset across the whole park; squeezing through every nook and cranny of the interlocked tree leaves and branches and lit up the bark of the redwoods.
When we reached the bluebells, the light seem to begin to fade faster and faster.
There was a log in the middle of the bluebells just lying there as though it had been placed there just for us! I sat Hannah on it and began snapping away.
Once again, a huuuuge thank you to Hannah and Auntie Lisa!
