Moving in closer,
there are intricate other
worlds
waiting. How strange,
the way the tiny
fragments morph
through the lens.
And again
on the screen.
Again,
as I make small adjustments – a little less clarity
here,
more detail
there.
Pull down the saturation,
draw the focus in with
a vignette…
the possibilities are endless,
whether you have a lens and
computer,
or not.
Just
look.
Consider.
(It’s a kind of worship, isn’t it?)

Thank you!They’re from a huge tree – and I still don’t know what it is. But they’re very photogenic, that’s for sure. I caught them just in time this year – I think they’re already gone!

You forced me to say it: all of them are. It’s what we do with them, maybe.

Absolutely right, Lynn – just look >>> as opposed to merely superficially glancing. And yes, worship, certainly. I like this series of shots – my favourites are the first and fourth, but they’re all delicately beautiful. Adrian 🙂

I think the 1st & 4th have a different sense of depth. It’s hard to control what’s happening with the macro lens, but I find if I think about what I’m doing, and keep shooting, I’m bound to get a few good ones.

That’s my method too – take many shots and then look for the better ones – having digital’s vast capacity helps no end – I can go thru 100 shots without thinking about it >>> but that would have been 3 36 exposure films! I like your photography very much. A

That’s good to hear, and I was thinking of you this week as we wandered the beach and I tried to photogrpah that extraordinary landscape. The light didn’t cooperate, but even if it did, it’s obvious that it takes some study and practice to adequately photograph that coast.

As in the above comment… you do so well with the up close and dreamy, while I seem to knock off the coastal vistas without much thought or practice.
