If you are anything like me, you are always looking for your next trip so that you can take photos of somewhere you’ve never been. But often times, there are wonderful subjects right around you that are just waiting to be photographed. This is one of those subjects.
I live on a very small mountain (627 feet - not sure if it even qualifies as a mountain) and often walk around my neighborhood for a little exercise. I almost never carry a camera with me. This day, I decided to take my camera with me with my macro lens (Nikon 105mm Micro - highly recommended) and shot a couple of flowers in the community gardens. This is one of the better images of a flower with it’s stamen standing tall with the pollen ready to be freed by a summer breeze. I think I will be carrying my camera a little more often on my neighborhood walks.
What a beauty of a shot, Len. Stunning color.
I agree, we often have so much in our own area that gets passed over while we’re on the way to some other place.
Nice work, man.
Gorgeous rich tones Len! This is a beautiful image! I Love photographing flowers and your message is so true…there is always something to photograph nearby!
Wow! I love the detail of the pollen. Great colors here Len.
