Hi Mate
Bluebells too low to the ground for me. They are difficult to photograph, try getting your focus point on the nearest flower and use a small aperture to get the maximum depth of field which will help to get the others sharper or focus on the nearest one and use a large aperture(bigger opening) so that the ones behind are totally out. You have prompted me to have a go, we have some white ones, can you get white bluebells.
Apparently you can Hyacinthoides hispanica white, syn. Scilla campanulata

It's all done by mirrors with a lot of help with Adobe Bridge If you have Photoshop and open an image in Bridge you can get a lot of information which is imbedded in the photograph. For instance the sausage shot was taken at 1/640@5.6
