Frames from the quiet woods

I like how the purple stands out here.

There's this potted sage on the outside table.

I like how desaturated this picture turned out.

My two favourite pictures from the grass experimentation.

These were experiments at, first of all, taking pictures of the grass with the sunset behind to capture the contrast.

Then with a bigger close up.

More grassy shots, these ones are a bit more colorful.

Grass with the sunset behind it.

I decided to go outside in the evening because there's this nice break in a treeline where the sunset is visible.

A gang of sparrows returns again.

The photos are a bit blurry and "dreamy" by accident - I took them through the window to not scare them away, from an angle that had a bug net between me and the birds.

One of my fuchsias that I bought in a market and is now really grateful with this beautiful bloom.

Small flowers hidden between nettles.

Reflection in the water.

Real photo of a forest pond.

Edited only shadows and highlights, a bit of saturation. Nothing else.

Another forest flower in the sunlight.

Yeah, I think these are my kind of forest pictures.

What remains in the woods.

Another photo of a dandelion.

An attempt was made. I definitely still don't fully feel the forest photography, but I also understand why.

There's no one subject I can focus or build the photo around.

Everything is important.

So I need to focus on what I know how to capture - light and shade, and small stories hidden between the trees.
