Mt Lofty Blue Bells.
Due to the dry, warm to hot climate here in Adelaide, Blue Bells are in very short supply - None!.
Up in the Adelaide Hills at the Mt. Lofty Botanical Gardens it's cooler and wetter and only in the last two years have I stumbled upon the small patch of Blue Bells sheltering under the canopy of Trees.
I should shoot them on a cloudy day to decrease the contrast but I love the bright colours that come with the Sun. So one of the ways out is to combine three different exposures (High Dynamic Range - HDR) to control the highlights and bring out the detail in the shadows.
I love the Colours in this one.
