Enys Gardens Enys is situated a few miles to the East of Penryn in Cornwall. The beautiful gardens are a genuine joy and the bluebells during spring are an eye to behold. The building have been left to rack and ruin but are slowy awakening from their slumber. The Bluebell festival in May is a joy and I was lucky enough to look around last Tuesday in the pouring rain. While this may have put some people off this was an opportunity to get the lovely misty shots I craved whilst also having the gardens to myself.

The last couple of weeks have seen the local woodland fill with bluebells, wild leeks and wild garlic. The scent is heady and the landscape is luminous with all the wildflowers in the woodland. But besides the normal shots of woodland I have been experimenting with my Helios lens on my Sony camera with lovely results in contrasty light. The bokeh produced is very specific and the contrast between what is in focus and what is not is distinct. Used with an adaptor on my Sony A7 R3 the lens is purely manual mode but what fun bringing out your creative side as you experiment.
