Hej!

Happy to see you here! :)

Here you see macro photography of a drop inside an onion flower.

When I go out for the photo walk that time, I had a target - to capture something different, not an abstraction... I had thoughts, that my photos looked pretty much the same, especially photos of drops... But then I see a ball of an onion flower with drops on it. And I stuck! I just couldn't resist this beauty, and couldn't keep myself from looking inside the flower with macro... into this wonderful Innerspace.

I do photos outside in nature, with no studio light, sometimes use a reflector, and I prefer evening setting sunlight. But such light changes pretty fast. Often when I've found the correct position for macro, the light is already gone! So it is tricky for me, but I am so excited about this beauty, about this wonderful world of macro...and for me important the moment of finding beauty. It is exciting, it is like a game or even hunting, but it takes a lot of energy and concentration. And often I am thinking - better I should do macro in the studio, arrange it... but no... and this is one more moment that makes me think and think "How things can be better...".

I was seating on the grass in front of this onion flower, completely tired, but happy. And I understood at that moment - yes, I do macro in a strange and maybe not the most correct way, and my photos can look pretty similar, may it is what people call the style!? My way! This thought was like a relief, the moment of acceptance. The moment when my inner critic gave up, and I let myself do what I do, what I get a passion for. I let myself be me! And I felt how tears run from my eyes, tears of happiness! And I was laughing at the thought - "Wow! Onion! Even flowers can make you cry!".

Such a story.... more photos of this Onion series coming :)))

This artwork I've named "SPARKLING MOOD OF INTENTION", as the photo reflects an intense stream of feelings, that lead me or even force me to act sometimes.
