7 Days with Flickr - Mondays: Free theme

 

Macro Mondays theme ''Relaxation''

 

Here is my little Zen garden.

 

Zen, the Sanskrit word for meditation, is a discipline. The purpose is to clear the mind of the chaos of everyday life in order to achieve a greater state of inner peace and harmony.

 

The mini lantern measures 3/4'' in height.

 

Thank you everyone for your visits, faves, and kind comments

Nénuphar sur le lac placide de l'oncle Timo. Et si le zen était finlandais finalement ?? Bien possible...

It was a beautiful, sunny afternoon and the leaves had finally turned brilliant. Viewed are two of the stacked boulder garden structures in this yard. Unfortunately I jiggled the camera just slightly so it's not as crisp as it should be, and yet it was my fav shot: Go figure.

At my daughters wedding some water lilly flowers. Can you see the feathers. The pond was full of ducks and carp.

Believe it or not, this was taken right outside in the morning , no flash used. Great cooperation with the natural lighting. Never used Photoshop nor have one. That's it, all natural lighting! Do please enjoy. Please click on the upper right corner the image for better viewing. You can also visit me at www.azimaging.ca and www.500px.com/azimaging

Seeing the two mushrooms with the growing little tree beneath it, reminded me of ZEN-buddhism or a little bonsai tree. Here I tried focus stacking, which was quite difficult, as I had no expierence with it, only a normal DSLR (moving the focus ring and tried not to miss to much out) and no professionell programm like Zerene. Affinity had to help me out here. But in the end I am quite pleased with the result, though it´s not perfect ;-)

 

Als ich die beiden Pilze neben diesem kleinen, noch wachsenden Baum gesehen habe, hat mich das irgendwie an ZEN-Buddhismus oder an einen Bonsai erinnert. Ich habe hier Fokus Stacking versucht, was recht schwierig war. Ich hatte kaum Erfahrung damit, nur eine normale DSLR Kamera (und versucht am Fokusring zu drehen ohne zu viele Ebenen auszulassen) und ich habe dafür auch kein professionelles Programm. Aber Affinity hat mir damit geholfen, die Ebenen zusammenzusetzen. Am Ende bin ich doch recht zufrieden mit dem Ergebnis, auch wenn es nicht perfekt geworden ist. ;-)

High key image of reeds taken on an visit to Newport Wetlands, Wales. The image reminded me (a bit) of a Japanese Sumi-e brushstroke painting....hence the Zen reference in the title.

Au bord du lac du Salagou, les pierres, les arbres, le clapotis de l'eau, le chant des oiseaux, l'endroit idéal pour se ressourcer quand s'en va l'été.....

A footbridge and fresh snow...

On the grounds of the Zen Temple Engakuji in Kamakura. I never felt I did the sublime Japanese Zen gardens justice in my photographs. Definitely better to be there yourself.

Corkscrew hazel branches and their shadows in the light square created by the morning light coming through the East window.
