Moon Flower Blossom – Black And White

9 Comments

The Moon blossom appears to me to be quite different from other flowers. The twist and turn to the tip almost looks like a soft server ice cream cone 🤣.

I think it might be interesting to create a small collection of blossoms like this for a B&W gallery.

Photograph taken early morning as the dew began to cover the plant. Interestingly the dew doesn’t seem to effect the blossoms, the plant withers only after the flower has opened for the night.

Specs; OM-1 (1), OM 12-100, Lightroom, Topaz, DxO Silver Efex.

This was the scene I had been hoping to shoot. I wanted to get a few ponies running through the marsh, catch the splashing water. Catching the herd together would have been great, but not to be had.

The ones I did manage to photograph were as the herd moved away into the woods toward a watering hole.  Stragglers wanted to catch up and did need to run a bit to catch up.

The theme here might have been ‘Built Not Bought’.

A friend invited me to a small local car show. This was a chance for us to get the cameras out and shoot in a different direction.

The cars were great, however the bicycle caught my attention. The owner brings a bike to the clubs weekend meetings. It turns out the car owners are also fascinated with what he built. In fact there are a total of nine different bicycle works.

In the next month or so there will be a dedicated Charleston exhibit of the nine works.

Best viewed large.

Every year I try to capture this scene. It happens early in the mating season. It appears one or the other is being the dominant partner.

I have a version from a past year, a metal print, hanging on my office wall. One of my favorite scenes that I never grow tired of.

Great Blue Herons, a conversation.
