Anemones Looking for the light

It’s been long ago and as usual I am late with my blogs. 21 april was a lovely sunny day that I have spent all day in impossible curves on the ground. Despite that I was really enjoying myself. Finally  the spring was there and the anemones were looking at the Sun. Here you will find an impression of that day. In can find the light in many ways and I love doing that. The atmosphere for me,is the most important and which is often determined by the environment. The sharpness therefore comes to me on the 2nd place though I try always to keep a sharpness for the depth.

I always go without ‘ plans ‘ in nature. O yeah ….. sure …. I want the anemones shooting but ….. that’s it. I do not think about how I am going to shoot things. How is that possible after all …… you don’t know what you are going to find. In my experience, you limit yourself if you go with the intention to do differently this time. Go with an ‘ open mind ‘ on the road and be surprised by nature. Just look. This way you will get the best images because you will do it from out of your hart not from out a believe or intentions. I am never disappointed but always surprised. And of course I also have days that not much is coming out of it, but then I’m not disappointed because I had no expectations.

Snowdrops fading away in the dark.

Last week on Tuesday I wanted to go to the botanic gardens in Utrecht but it was a mess with parking the car. I decided to go to Amelisweerd, the small forest where I used to live very close by. I was so glad I went to this place. I simple forgot how beautiful it is. The ground was covered with snowdrops almost out of blooming but then you know...... spring is coming.
The sun was shining but a lot of clouds were already on the way. I didn't need the sun too much anyway because I wanted to make some different shots with the snowflakes.
I played with the whitebalance because I like the colours to be cooler with snowdrops. And for the darker feeling I underexposed.

It turned out to be a great day laying on the ground between all these lovely white snowdrops.

Thanks everyone for visiting my blog and I would like to thank everyone who left a comment on my previous blog. I really appreciate it a lot.
