Poisonous But Beautiful Plant

November 3, 2015 Dennis

I shot the photo of this post a month ago in one of our local botanical gardens, the plant appeared strange but beautiful. I didn’t note the name so that I had to research today at home, and I do think this plant might be called White Baneberry (Actaea pachypoda). The plant is very poisonous according to several articles I have found, and you shouldn’t eat the berries because only a few of them can already make you seriously ill, and more can cause death. So, don’t eat, just examine the beauty. Anyway, it’s a beautiful plant, isn’t it? Continue reading Poisonous But Beautiful Plant

Beautiful Plant In The Forest

September 20, 2015September 20, 2015 Dennis

I saw the plant above in a small forest during my hike through the Schellbruch. I am not sure what kind of wild plant it is, I just thought it is a very beautiful plant. Apart from the plant, I do also like the depth of field and bokeh in the photo, I really like the result. Although it’s not working in every situation with my Nikon 18-105mm kit lens, I am happy that I learned how to get this kind of effect in some situations. If there is enough distance between the main subject and the stuff in the … Continue reading Beautiful Plant In The Forest

Growing Flower

May 1, 2015 Dennis

Here is a photo of a growing flower. I like how the stem looks so lonely. I do also like the depth of field in this photo. Not sure what kind of flower it will be, I found it in our garden. I can not get too close to plants with the kit lens, at some point I will really need a macro lens for close-up shots. Continue reading Growing Flower

Random Plant Photo

April 20, 2015 Dennis

Here I will show you one photo that I really like. It’s a close-up photo of a random plant branch that I found on my way when I was walking outside yesterday. I didn’t edit the image apart from resizing. There are no improvements made, this is basically how the photo came out of the camera. I really love the blurry background and that only the branch with the small blossoms are in focus. I like the bokeh or depth of field effect in the background and I shot this with the focal length of the lens changed to 105mm. … Continue reading Random Plant Photo

Ant on the Plant

April 1, 2015April 1, 2015 Dennis

I was not sure how to call this post here but then I got an idea, and a second later I had to laugh because I love how the title “Ant on the Plant” rhymes. Talking about the photo, I used the macro mode of my digital camera to capture the photo of the ant. The macro mode will of course not do wonders because the camera is cheap, but sometimes it works out well. The photo was quite blurry anyway, but I could fix it anyhow with Lightroom. Continue reading Ant on the Plant

Beautiful Plant

April 1, 2015 Dennis

Still fighting with the amount of photos I took over the years. Above you can see one photo I took last year. I saw this plant in a garden and took a photo. I like how the flower of the plant looks like. Especially the green pattern on the white leave. That looks cool anyhow. However, I did cheat a little bit and darkened all shadow areas even further to get the flower into focus, and I did push the green colours a lot with Lightroom. As this is a digital camera photo, I also had to reduce some noise … Continue reading Beautiful Plant
