A single flower

I was pleasantly surprised to discover that photos of single flowers are quite popular on the Internet. Focussing on a single flower will often reveal beauty that you might not be aware of when you enjoy the beauty of many flowers together.

A single flower is so vastly different from a rock that has been formed over aeons (view my previous blog post). A flower's timeline may be measured in days. They are similarly fascinating to look at. Maybe their fragility makes them even more attractive.

Reflections

Image
Photos with reflections are often appealing or striking.  Experts recommend using reflections to change a straightforward photo into a much richer image. Are reflections so appealing because our minds are immediately fascinated by the similarity (or the incomplete similarity) between the subject(s) and the reflection? But then again, the subject that is reflected can be absent. Maybe it is our subconscious attraction to water - which is often the reflecting medium - that makes reflections appealing?

Shining through

Image
Seashells are being used in some lamp shades. Light bulbs are also placed inside big seashells. In this way seashells' colours, which we see differently when light shines through them, can be enjoyed. The seashells used in these ways are beautiful and without obvious flaws.   It is fascinating to look at seashells more closely with light shining through them. Those seashells that have been exposed to waves and sand for a long time and are worn down (in other words, seashells with flaws), show delightful and beautiful detail.  Click on the images to view them in full.  Previous posts with photos with similar technique:  https://ndt-photoblog.blogspot.com/2024/12/backlight.html https://ndt-photoblog.blogspot.com/2023/06/last-leaves-of-autumn.html (first photo) SHARE this page OR share the blog's link: https://ndt-photoblog.blogspot.com/   FOLLOW this blog through the subscription widget on the sidebar.  [Click on the "3 lines" on the top left of the hom...

Sunflowers

Image
Sunflowers seem to be popular in art for a very long time and also in various cultures. The flower represents many positive motives (happiness, hope, love, etc) and evokes positive feelings. That is not surprising, for sunflowers are such beautiful flowers! Sunflowers - with their wide open faces - remind me of people: gorgeous in their youth, charming adults and captivating with a life fully lived. Click on the images to view them in full.
