It's been a while since I posted last. Mostly cause I've been getting acquainted with my new home in Sweden. I finally had some time this morning to look through my pictures again.
I love nature and I am always searching out parks, forests, lakes, rivers, and beaches. However, I'm not mad about taking macro shots of flowers, though I have taken a few photos of plants over the years. I think it's because I rarely find images of flowers or plants captivating in 2D. They have so much beauty and vibrancy in real life, but unlike portraits, flowers do not have an emotive glare, a smirk, or funny facial expression that can be captured in a photo. Having said that, maybe a stronger macro lens would make me really love plant photography:) I know I have a lot to learn still in terms of taking macros and many of my photos of plants are not macro but this is definitely a work in progress, right?
Here are the few flowers/plants I have photographed lately. Mostly in the forests near Thunder Bay but also the fields of Southern Ontario and the dry brush of the Greek islands.
