Wood Anemone
D800,Zeiss 100mm, 1/500@2.8
A positive approach to life has had a profound way in which I can continue to enjoy our amazing world. When conditions for image making are not ideal for one subject, its time to rethink your plans and look at other areas of our world in which images might follow. On this particular day I didn’t have the chance to join a friend for some warbler photography in the early morning, but I still wanted to go and enjoy the natural world in another way. The 600mm stayed at home and I headed for the local wood to enjoy what I could with just a wide angle and a macro lens. The bag sure felt light and as I entered the woods I was amazed at the carpet of woodland flowers. The late spring had allowed the spring flowers to bloom in abundance due to the lack of leaves on the trees. The macro sure was a good choice and I got down to ground level to focus on the delicate flowering Wood Anemones. I did make sure I didn’t destroy the habitat by selecting a patch of flowers next to an area of dead leaves which gave me some room to spread out so to speak.The negative of not being able to go out in the morning photographing birds was now turning into many positives as I explored the flowers through the Zeiss 100mm lens, and I was playing a visual game on the macro level. So not to dwell on the negatives but look to gain a positive is an absolute must in todays changing climate and challenges, and the images will follow.
