Blueberry flowers
Every spring when I see blueberry flowers I think that I should photograph them. Every year I have not done it. Until now - I have these things growing 5 metres from my house, no excuses! Not even the high winds deterred me, I just made use of my new Wimberley Plamp to steady the stem and a golden reflector to add some frontlight to the sidelit flowers. And since there were two flowers, I used the Plamp to angle the flowers so that I got them parallel to the sensor. Looks like I got one more gadget I just absolutely have to have in my bag… it’s getting heavy!
Nice work Minna, good detail and light on the subject.
That Plamp -thing surely looks good and interesting! I have been planning to get one some day, where did you get your’s?
I ordered mine from the Naturescapes.net store. I searched high and low to find one in some online store in Sweden or at least in Europe, but no such luck. Wimberley does have representation in Finland though, check their website for the contact info. Maybe you can skip the high postage and customs fees if you find it locally…
