In B&W

Portraying mushrooms instead of people! How sweet B&W pictures they make :-)

Seasonal

Now that we've almost reached Winter and as Autumn colors enthusiasm is slightly fading, I'm starting to long for Spring again. While looking through older photos, I somehow miss the bright colors and varied shapes that insects and flowers provide me in the warmer seasons!

But let's try to enjoy seasons as they come :-)

Prickly colors


Pine tree in the light


Pine cones

Into the woods

A very special atmosphere in the woods nearby as the little brook was almost entirely covered in bright green duckweed...

A green path


False grass

Today theme will be: YELLOW AND BLUE!

Happy yellow and blue day :-)

Forest folk

I really love autumn as this is the season where both chestnuts and mushrooms show up...

Indeed I find mushrooms a very interesting photography subject: in order to shoot them you have to get much closer to the ground, and this makes you get a very unusual point of view of the world around you :-)

Soft edges

Blurry world

Bokeh sight

Leaf veins

Photos of leaves taken from below, under a source of light: I just love that! 

You can see very precisely each of the leaf veins, and that definitely helps soothing my perfectionist inclination :-)

Color samples

A world of veins

Pavement

I really wanted to do a photo mash-up on the 'pavement' topic, but unfortunately I didn't have enough photos related to this theme...

So here are they in a usual-size format :-)

Sprouting pavement

Bathed in the light

Fall colors

Yayy, it's that time of the year again: when we go colorful-leaf hunting, chestnut harvesting, and mushrooms digging :-) A few fall pictures from my most recent strolls!

(just noticed that I tend to take pictures using the same corner or side of the image...)

Blurry autumn

Bricks

I think almost all those pictures are from my London trip earlier this year - those colorful bricks have definitely made a big impression on me back then...

What could be more opposed - aesthetically speaking - than those two objects?

First this...
