Lizianthus

I wrote on Instagram: ‘Looking so closely at my objects of interest. A great pleasure to simply look at these flowers, Lizianthus, from different angles in the light until a composition became clear. Wanting depth of field led to stacking, but more than that wanting to have a sense of the petals and the form of the blooms.
Many thanks to those of you who so often comment on my work it is much appreciated.’

It does feel good to write about what I have spent so long doing. To publish to Instagram can give a feeling of completeness at times. I think that I tend to reserve more detail for this blog. I am lucky to have this site to show my work and musings. The first shot is the one I put on Instagram, cropped to 4:5 format. The second is the complete - well the word I want to use is portrait - portrait of the stems. The leaves are visible at the foot of the photograph.
