Reaching For the Light by filsie65

Reaching For the Light

...I have to take a photo every day? You sure? Oh heck yes I'd forgotten! Just as well I was drawn out into the early morning dew to find this poor bedraggled daisy reaching up for all the light she could get. Rather think she looks how I feel now - thank goodness I took one before the hail came! (April showers)

I am just blown away by all the views and comments on the photos from our trip to Paris earlier this week - both here and on my Just Stuff album. Thank you so much to everyone who had a look or left a comment, it is a beautiful city and I'm so glad you liked the shots I took there. It was quite hard trying to find shots that weren't the classic tourist views, although in many cases they were the best views.. and of course the best thing about photography is looking back on memories which I shall certainly do as work kicks back in tomorrow....! Have a good week, everyone
gorgeous capture

Excellent macro! Love the focus, the light, the detail, the angle...everything! Job well done!

so great! I remember you did something similar but without flower; this is very beautiful! I definitely want to try something like this

@woot Thank you! It's easy... just find some dewy grass, in the sunshine, get down low and click a few times on a macro setting.. see what you come out with! If you see a flower to shoot through it makes it good. Enjoy your early-morning 'paddle' !

Makes a simple daisy look amazing!

@filsie65 my main problem is that living in a city you don't have many opportunities to do that... next time I'll go to the mountains (maybe in a couple of weeks)

Lovely delicate flower. The light is fantastic. I'm behind on me viewing. I'll have to look back to your Paris photos. I've been wondering how your trip went. Hope you had a great time.
