"Little Giants" (May 2024)

            Every season it seems there is invariably something in particular that catches my eye. It's like I go through mini photography phases. I can mark the passage of time with them. For instance, if I look at summers, two years ago I was captivated by ferns, last year I was all about lily pads, and this year it seems like reflections are the photo subject du jour.  
  
This past spring was definitely a "sprouts" season. It may have been due to the fact that this was my first spring with my new camera, which has an articulating rear screen, and allowed me to get my telephoto lens very low to the ground to take some profile portraits with nice bokeh backgrounds, like this image of starflowers here. This technique enabled me to isolate small plants and make them look much larger due to the low angle perspective. I was intrigued by these early bloomers and how they seemed like giants in their surroundings before the other plants in the forest shot up around them.
