Bloom 2010 | June Photowalk
June 17th, 2010.This month there was a special photowalk organised with bloom in Phoenix Park. They offered Photowalk.ie a limited amount of media passes. I jumped on board early and secured a pass. The pass allowed us to get in early and take photos anywhere at anytime during the event. Having gone to Bloom last year I knew it was a good opportunity. They have some really lovely gardens and some gorgeous artisan food (I made sure to do some taste testing before leaving!). After editing my images I am quite pleased with what I took. In some of the photos I can imagine the gardens full of people at a wedding. It would be an ideal setting for a bride and groom to have an outdoor ceremony. It would make for some gorgeous wedding portraits. All the photos in this post were taken with my 135mm lens. It’s become my lens of choice. The quality is just stunning and I love the bokeh you get from the long focal length. It’s a winner on the dance floor too!
Beautiful photos Christina! I love my 135mm lens too. Oh, and I really love your B+W processing!
I was dying to see what you came up with from Bloom. and I wasn’t to be disappointed. Great shots as always. All of your plant shots are great but I love the one with the little girls with their hands up. Great capture.
You really do love that 135 lens don’t you!

What gorgeous photos – so summery!
These are gorgeous, I’ve never tried the 135 but now I’m itching to!!
Finally!
And worth the wait – you outdid yourself
It’s funny, I know I was there and I saw all the same gradens but you made it look like a totally different place! That’s what’s fascinating about seeing other people’s pictures…
Thanks everyone. The 135 really is a fave. Could be also it’s my only prime and I just love the sharpness! I’ve got the ball rolling for all prime lenses!
