“Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.” – Lao Tzu
This is another picture from my garden – this time taken in the fall. I was learning to use the Macro setting on my camera, and I love the way the picture captures the tiny prickles on the flower stems and leaves.
This Week’s Photography Tip
This week’s photography tips comes from Emily Anderson ofEmily Anderson Photography. Emily has been photographing children and families in the Northeast Arkansas area for several years.
“Don’t forget the details. Include more than just one image of the overall view. A wide shot of the entire object or scene may be necessary, but you can make it more interesting by including detail shots, too. Take a close up of an interesting button on a sewing project or one corner of the cake you baked, showing the texture of the icing. It can be very tempting to snap one or two images when you are in a hurry to get them uploaded to the computer for a blog or Facebook post, but challenge yourself to take several different images. This also applies to photographing people. Think about what details tell the story – wrinkled hands, grass-stained jeans, flip-flop tan lines, etc. You may find that you can take several different images in a row before you run out of ideas. Don’t give up then. Keep shooting. That’s when you turn on your creativity.”

Ohhh… What a tragically lovely photograph. How you’ve captured the metaphor of Autumn — the end of the life cycle — is just… breathtaking. And the little prickles on the plants glowing in the weak sunlight! Ah! I love that, too!
What an awesome comment – Thank you so much :) I do just love the details – and it does remind me of the whole idea of changes come and go, and just roll with it. It’s one of my favorite photos.
