It was extraordinary to see a pathway carpeted with colourful flowers. Trees lined both the sides. The colours were stunning.  It was wonderful to experience this beautiful garden.

Location

The location is Keukenhof Gardens in Lisse, South Holland. It is open for two months in spring every year, from mid March to mid May. I was there in May and the flowers were in full bloom. The gardens attract a large number of visitors from around the world.

Technical Data

I used my Canon EOS 550D camera in manual mode, with the aperture at f/7.1 and shutter speed at 1/20 seconds. I had to make several adjustments in the settings to get the tones and light right.

The tulips in red, pink and white sloped down to the lake. The scene was absolutely breathtaking. Across the lake, a clump of trees made a cool shaded space. It was a partly cloudy day in May. The light kept changing as the sun was moving in and out of clouds.

Location

I shot this beautiful image in Keukenhof Gardens in Netherlands. The garden is spread over a few acres and is open to public only during spring time. Many people from across the world visit the place every year.

Camera Info

I used my Canon EOS 550D for this shot. Aperture was kept at f/8.0 to maintain a good depth of field. As the sun was out, a shutter speed of 1/250 sec. could be used.
