Harebells at Barns Ness
While out photographing at sunrise yesterday morning at Barns Ness I spotted some Harebells growing in the grass on the top of the beach so I stopped to take some shots as the morning light cast a warm glow and long shadows over the small flowers.
The Harebell (Campanula Rotundifolia) can be found all along the coastline here in East Lothian and these beautiful and slender blue flowers certainly add a splash of colour to the meandering coastal pathways.
Here in Scotland the Harebell is sometimes referred to as the Bluebell but most people know Hyacinthoides non-scripta as the Bluebell, which looks a lot different to the more slender and delicate Harebell.
All of these images were shot on a Fujifilm X-T1. I used the Fujinon 90mm f2 lens with a 16mm extension tube to be able to focus closer to the small flowers. The next three images were taken on this lens combination.
I then took the opportunity to shoot some back lit Harebells using the 90mm without the extension tube.
I then finished off by using the 16mm f1.4 and getting close to the flowers to get a slightly different angle.
Images taken on a Fujifilm X-T1 with either a 16mm f1.4, 90mm f2 or 50-140mm f2.8 lens.
