One of the sides I like about photography is to be able to see the extraordinary in the ordinary. For example flowers... They are often overlooked and lost in our attention deficit. But when you stop and observe them, these beauties are there to offer a rich visual feast. Recently, I turned my lens to four distinct blooms: kalanchoe, hyacinth, trifolium campestre, and wild lettuce.
First one here is wild lettuce flowers. I must admit they surprised me. I didn't know about their existence until I was enjoying my newly acquired macro lens. They look so delicate but at the same time sharp as a needle. On the other side, they carry the feeling of fragility and softness, which I tried to capture in my shot.
Next one is kalanchoe, with its dense population of vibrant petals, it feels like a candy prepared for the eye. Also the petals looks a bit waxy. While the light is gliding over them, every petal looks so alive! It’s a small flower, but it's colors are punchy.
The hyacinth, on the other hand, is a fragrant beauty. It's soft shape emits waves of modesty. The overall look of this flower is a bit dense, so I had to isolate the single blossom carefully. But this density is also the beautiful feature of the hyacinth – its complexity recalls patience and attention. Just for a comparison, I captured a dried one below. It is really sad to see such a beauty fade away.
Lastly, trifolium campestre, or hop clover, is another humble yet charming plant. If anyone is looking for the sunshine packed in a bouquet, better to contemplate over this lovely plant. This picture reminds me that the beauty may hide in the small corners of an open field.
The colors or shapes may differ but one thing is common, if you take time to look then the beauty starts to speak.
All the best...
