I went with a preconceived vision of the shot I wanted (low, close, wide angle, large DoF, sunlit). That in itself can be a good thing but, like you, I didn't adapt when the shot wasn't working. Instead I forced it, kept trying and eventually started to walk away dejected. But I turned around and tried the shot which was calling to me (further back, telephoto and wide open): http://hotoffthememorycard.com/2012/04/01/bluebells-and-bokeh/ I think I might try again this weekend. In the meantime, I have some preconceived ideas about photos in Inchedoney today so this is a good reminder to let those go if it's not working I had exactly the same problem with the bluebells in Currabinny.

It's always nice to see people appreciating the small stuff in life. It's always nice to be reminded too. And I'll have to show my 12yro daughter how you laced up your boots, she'll love it. 32… I remember being that age… just. It’s always nice to see people appreciating the small stuff in life.
