Morning Crystals Photo

Photographer’s Note

I'm not a morning person. This was the first time I woke up early enough to capture morning dews.

I just read a Freeman Patterson's book and he recommends thinking sideways (breaking photographic rules) which allows us to explore photography artistically. So I chose a really narrow DOF and I think I just achieve a "Breakfast at Tiffany" moment.

Nice color and composition, Nap. I'm not sure about the DoF, though. I think it works this way but I wonder if it wouild be better to have more drops in focus.

Hello Nap,

Excellent mise au point avec la profondeur de champs idéale pour se concentrer sur le sujet. Le vert intense est superbe. Bravo

Interesting note and shot Nap. I think this one is more suited to TL. It's a clean shot and taken while working "out of the box". regards, c

I'm not a morning person but sometimes the monings give you a wonderful sorprises like this, the beauty of the nature is so impressive, this remainds me a spot in national geographic.
Beautiful picture, nice frame, exelent centralizacion and angle, good ilumination.

Thanks

good simple and expedient use of the camera as an instrument for art..
graphic and to an extent monotone the shot is full of purpose
cheers

Hello Nap,
the green background is very graphic, the strenght of this picture. Only one drop is in focus, which is very interesting too. But I don't think that the focus on that drop is so perfect though...
I like it a lot,
Marc

Hi, Nap,
Excellent! Personally, i love this kind of experimentation with very unusual outcome as a result. This minimalist abstraction is particularly appealing to me. Congrats!

Toujours sympas, les gouttes dans les toiles, ici, avec un joli fond monochrome.
