Does anyone else love the calmness and tranquility that a woodland provides? They are such a relaxing environment to embrace, especially when the wild garlic and bluebells are in full bloom

Having a wander around some local woodland here in South Wales, on the hunt for some wild garlic.

Bluebells tend to flower before the forest canopy, so they can take advantage of the sunlight before they are covered in shadows from the canopy high above.

I often get questions about what settings I used for various pictures I take, and I’ll often get told that I need to by using a narrow aperture for landscape/woodland so that as much detail as possible is in focus. Well, often I’ll make a conscious decision to take a picture with a wider aperture because I don’t want every last detail to be in focus and I want to create a very shallow depth of field. The subjects in these pictures would have been lost in the background had I chosen a narrower aperture.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that photography is your art and you a free to interpret it as you want. Some may argue that there is a rule for this or a rule for that, but we all know rules are there to be broken and it’s how and when we chose to break those rules is what matters.

I could spend hours just wandering around woodlands. They are just a beautiful place to while away some time. And whichever direction you look you’ll always find nature putting on its best display, albeit with sights and smells!
