I guess in yesterday's post when I said that the photos I shot earlier were boring, that wasn't exactly what I meant - a few were pretty nice but I was unhappy with the depth of field. So when I saw similar weather outside this morning, I jumped at the chance to go reshoot one of them and here it is. If anyone knows the name of this plant, let me know in the comments below please. This was shot in the landscaping in front of one of the businesses over by the post office. 1/15th sec. f/11 iso 400.
Oh man, it looks like a computer generated fractal from a video game. Wow, that's cool.
ReplyDeleteDid you use a tripod, or an iPod?
Ipod hahaahahahaa
ReplyDeleteI love the lines in this one...first word out of my mouth was SWWWEEEEEET. Nice shot, and I do not know this plant. The leaves on the right (if that is what you want to call them) really grab your attention!!!
I keep being drawn back to this picture. I can't get the orientation right in my head - are the beads of water throwing me off? is this photo right side up? How large is the plant?
ReplyDeleteIt's almost right-side-up. I rotated it a little when I cropped the original image. The camera was pointing just slightly down. The area in the cropped image is roughly 6" to 7" across the frame.
ReplyDeleteTim,
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely your best photo to date. Good job!! I love the way the water droplets are so evenly formed around the edges of the leaves.
I really gives it a surreal impression.
Thanks to Ian for posting this link on San Juan Update.
Thanks Judy, yeah I'm really glad I got the opportunity to go re-shoot this and that the weather was almost identical to the first attempt!
ReplyDeleteI think that the plant is what my Grandmother called "Hen and Chicks" a succulent-- but I don't know the scientific name.
ReplyDeleteGreat picture though! Will have to remember to watch for your latest addition. Tell Eric, Kelly (Carder or Marshall now Gerber) said Hi . My family saw your blog pics and passed them on. Ciao
Hi Kelly! Thanks for the comments! OK, I'll tell Eric - Tell Julie I said hi!
ReplyDeleteThe genus of the plant pictured is sedum, commonly known as stonecrop. I'm not sure of the specific species. It is a beautiful picture. My favorite of all that are posted on your blog so far.
