[quote name='LoisWakeman' post='281700' date='May 6 2009, 11:01 AM']I've been chasing them too. I find that the blue is a bit unpredictable with auto WB, and can sometimes come out rather cyan - so a bit of colour balancing may be needed. The other thing is I think perceptual - the eye concentrates on the colour and misses all the distractions that the camera 'sees', thereby diluting the effect. There are two ways to help overcome that: choose your angle as parallel to the ground as you can (tripod legs short, knees firmly in the mud!), and use a long lens to compress distance.
I have been playing with layers and motion blur combined, and came up with this impression of the woods east of Lyme Regis.

Lois,
Your second image is great! It really is a unique view of the colors and movement of the forest floor. Great!!
Are you using an ND filter to lengthen your exposure times?
