Sorry, another lightning shot….... I have to get back out in the field again!
/ light purple floral composition with flowers, leaves and branches
This is a native perennial plant that grows wild in the northern areas in the US and southern Canada. This beautiful tiny flower is considered to be a weed, but very close inspection reveals a gorgeous little “treat”. This flower was no larger than my thumb nail (actually, it was considerably smaller). This specimen was photographed in late March of 2007, near Williamsport in north central Pennsylvania. It was growing among grasses and clover at the edge of a wooded area, where it was very damp in the spring. The flowers are so small and close to the ground that they could easily be missed by those casually walking by. This photo was taken “handheld” using a Canon EF 50mm f/2.5 Compact-Macro lens with a Canon “Life-Size” adapter, mounted on a Canon EOS 10D camera. I laid on my stomach with the camera cradled on my hand, which was resting directly on the ground for stability. The entire plant was less than two inches tall, so it required getting “down ‘n dirty” to capture the shot. This image has not been retouched in any way. It has been left exactly as the camera camera captured it. © 2009 Gene Walls All copyright and reproduction rights are retained by the artist.

Here she is, the beautiful underside nakedness of Violet. This particular shot was not the clearest on the gills but did show very sharply the adjoining of the stem to the gills and the beautiful texture of the stem. Have a perve at Violet, naked! This is the last picture I will upload separately of her, there is 4 prints in this series of Violet, I hope you enjoyed meeting her! / All photographs taken at Ravenshoe, Far Nth Queensland, Australia.
© Copyright 2009 Ivana Redwine, All Rights Reserved I started with a photo I took of a tree. When I took the photo, I wanted to capture the tree’s sculptural qualities. Later, I digitally manipulated the photo to create a more emotive, subjective work. I imagined what that particular tree might look like if it were depicted as an image that was halfway between a photograph and a painting. A hybrid of photography and art, this work blends what was captured in a photograph with digital artistic manipulation, creating a picture of what previously existed only in my imagination.
Some kind of dry grass that caught my eye. Ended up taking quite a few shots of it, because I haven’t really seen it in any other spot than there (and I’ve walked around pretty much everywhere by now…).
