5th May 2024: Bluebells at Wanstead Park

Wanstead Park
This park is located in Zone 4 on the Central line of the underground in northeast London. It covers an area of ​​approximately 550,000 square meters.You can park your car on the public road near the park entrance. If you walk a little from the entrance, you can see the blue carpet in the center of the park.
When I visited there, the peak had already passed.

The peak is from mid-to-late April. If you want to take a photo just like you imagined, I strongly recommend mid-April. It is also an everyday walking course for local residents, so you can enjoy a light hike. You can take a pan-focus shot of the bluebells blooming all over, or you can take a macro shot to capture their delicate and pure appearance.
 
Bluebells​​
Taken by 60mm Macro. I increased the exposure a little so I could create a more ephemeral impression. The background was blurred beautifully.​

Focusing on Bluebell Stamens
The macro lens used this time is the film era, released in 1989. 
By narrowing the exposure by 1 to 2 steps, you can get a very sharp image. As the trend toward mirrorless, old lenses like this macro can be purchased at a low price now.​​
