So much yellow everywere!

Lithodora prostrata blue wildflower ulex.jpg

It is hard to avoid it. It is everywhere I looked!
The always present yellow background - Ulex

In early spring as soon as the days get longer and warmer the bushes will bloom and the are will turn to a yellow sea. I like them, even though they are very invasive and have very sharp thorns. I like that bright yellow colour and funny looking flowers.

Above the little blue flower is called Lithodora prostrata
Below one of the large types of Onionweed was growing their 1,5 m tall flower spikes. This is another invasive weed that I like. Even more than Ulex.

Some grasses dancing on the wind...

... and spring blooming Erica with million of tiny purple flowers.
Both of those bushes are usually surrounded by bees, bumblebees and other small flying nectar eaters.

And here is the guilty one.
Ulex or Gorse bush. One of my friends makes ice creams from the flowers (yes, they are edible). I have never tried it, but it must be nice and fragrant.
Every weed has a purpose :)

The first photograph has the best yellow backdrop 👌 Love all the yellows but the first looks special nice photographs 😊

Haha that's why it is first :D I also like the contrast with blue.

Yes that goes very well and beautiful 😊
I have a surprise today 😬😬

Hooolly that is pretty!! Only blooms at night?

Yup, just at night. Started by 7:00 PM and Morning by 7-8 AM is down already 😊

I made a timelapse video of it

Woww!! <3
The flower reminds be a bit of Setiechinopsis mirabilis, but it has even more pointy petals.
Did you sniff it?

Oh this looks close and has little softer petals than the Setiechinopsis mirabilis. And the flower has an refreshing scent around it, if you walk closer to it and you can feel it 😊

indeed the yellow background lighting is very impressive. and the wild flowers bloom perfectly. @ewkaw 👍💯

Thanks! I just couldn't avoid it :) And I am glad.

Oh, that sweet yellow color. Great shots @ewkaw

Thanks David :)

I'm not usually a fan of yellow, but damn this is a really pretty shade. It's much prettier in nature than paint yellow :D

Nature is always the bestest :)

Uwielbiam żółty, szczególnie w takim odcieniu. Świetne zdjęcia :) Jak ustawiasz aparat, żeby uzyskać taki efekt rozmazanego tła? Nigdy nie udaje mi się tak fajnie rozmazać. Choć to pewnie też kwestia aparatu i obiektywu.

Jeśli masz możliwość ustawienia przesłony (F z numerkiem) to im mniejszy numer, tym bardziej rozmyte będzie i mniejszy obaszar (z przodu) bedzie w fokusie. Ale też im dalej jest tło od obiektu fotografowanego. To tak w skrócie.

Tak, wiem to. Tylko i tak jak robię zdjęcia i porównam sobie efekty jakie niektórzy uzyskują to widzę różnicę i ciekawa jestem z czego to wynika. Ostatnio dużo zdjęć robię telefonem, jest tam możliwość uzyskania efektu rozmytego tła, a aparatem głównie robię zdjęcia ptakom z dużej odległości. Wtedy fajnie wychodzi rozmyte tło, ale to nadal "nie to" :P Takie rozmycia jak u Ciebie byłyby dla mnie świetnym rezultatem :)

Efekt zalezy dużo od obiektywu. Niektóre robią takie fajne kółka w tle, inne mają rozmyte bokeh.
Z mojego nie tak dużego doświadczenia wiem, że najważniejsze (dla mnie) jest ustawienie F i to jak daleko jest obiekt od tła własnie i od samego obiektywu. Im wieksza odległość od tła a bliżej obiektywu, tym bardziej rozmyte będzie.. nawet przy wiekszym F.

I like wildflowers too.
There are many very cute and beautiful among them!

Yea I could easily grow them in the garden or pot :)
