Not what they seem

Whether you believe in global climate change or not, most people seem to be in agreement that the weather has not behaved normally this year.  Things are not what they seem.  When photographing details - plunging into the midst of a person's face, an animal, flower, or tree - an image can be rendered in such a way that it may not be what it seems either.

I love these two images.  They are very different but part of the same palm tree.

Most eucalyptus tree species in California originated in Australia, but the rainbow eucalyptus tree is the only native eucalyptus found in the northern hemisphere.  We encountered this one in Hawaii. 

Even the humble aloe family can be pictured just enough out of the ordinary to violate all the rules of photography and produce interesting results.

until next Monday,
