Raindrops on birch,
lenses for the morning sun

(I have tried to capture this magic light before, but never quite could do it justice)

  1. LCD! This could make it for an ‘LSD’ title too I guess… +_+

    Btw, in California, even raindrops are cuter… wtf.

    (best viewed large The top-right part is amazing)

    are you sure they are not luciérnagas?

  2. no, not fireflies, and I did not use a flash. All this talk of dropping things got the mind racing with associations… 😉

    I especially like the magic blue drops that shine extra bright, like Lucy in the Sky…

    I have not seen something like this before. I was shooting wide angle and wide aperture… This is a crop from the bottom left corner of the frame… and you’re right, it really should be viewed large.

    Yup, Z, must be faeries.

  3. I was going to ask you about the blue things. They are awesomely trippy.

    A crop? Do you mean that this belongs to an even larger photo?

    Dropping things… uhm. I can only think of pinapples (!) Funny enough, I know. My mind is quite fixed with the thought… Perhaps because the time is ripe. March is time for harvest. =)

  4. pure magic in your woods! Drippy and trippy…it’s times like this one doesn’t even notice getting wet head to toe, outstanding:)

  5. Yeeees!

    Large view is like a faerie explosion.

  6. Talking fireflies and other enlightened beings present here too… just got this passage:

    "Shariputta, does it occur to any of my followers to think that after they have known full enlightenment they should lead all beings to nirvana?"

    "No, Honored One."

    "But that should be their intention. They should not be too caught up with themselves to believe that. A glowworm or firefly does not think that its light could illuminate the continent of India or even radiate over it. In the same way, the followers do not think that they can, after obtaining full enlightenment, lead all beings to nirvana. But the sun, when it has risen, radiates its light over the whole of India. Just so, an awakened follower when he is fully enlightened, without even consciously attempting to, leads all beings to nirvana."

  7. If you want an instant super macro lens for your slr, take off the lens you have and hold it backwards against the camera. Amazing results…. there are adapters to hold it there and seal off the light (called lense reverseres). A normal lens (50mm) is best.
