LARGE View On Black
It is so nasty outside that i cannot think of a proper "street photo" - just want some brightness;-)
I am almost back:-)
Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated.
Whispers of Light or Dewlight or a kind of Grasslight Symphony.
💧 Dew & Light:
What Is Dew?
Dew forms when the temperature drops and the moisture in the air condenses onto cooler surfaces like grass. It's most common just after sunrise when the ground is still cool.
Light Refraction & Bokeh Magic
The sparkling dots in the background are caused by specular highlights—where the dew drops act as tiny lenses, catching and refracting sunlight. The hexagonal shapes suggest a lens with a 6-blade aperture, contributing to the beautiful bokeh.
Miniature Lenses
Dew drops behave like convex lenses. In close-up or macro photography, they can even invert or magnify the background within their tiny sphere—a natural optical trick.
Golden Angle Timing
Shooting just after sunrise, especially with low-angle light, enhances the sparkle and transparency of dew-covered grass. This is sometimes referred to as a “micro golden hour” in macro photography.
Dew and Ecology
For many small insects and plants, dew is a crucial source of water—especially in ecosystems where rain is scarce or irregular.
This weeks shot is a return to the location for my water elements shot back in March but this time i've chosen to give more emphasis to the shoreline to try to convey the passing of time, erosion and decay and the link between the sea and the land, between water and earth...
Explored! - Thanks to all for your views, comments and favs - it is very much appreciated.

I took this shot in my balcony with my Canon 700d using a 50mm lens. Tried my best to enhance the beauty of the flower with a back-lit lantern. All post processing was performed in Adobe Photoshop!

Some of the ruins to be found located throughout the city of Athens. Taken with a Canon 5D4 and a 50mm 1.4 lens.

... the title is a reference to Pink Floyd's 'San Tropez'
Captured the serenity of this stunning orchard, where each blossom feels like a work of art. The shallow depth of field, thanks to a wide aperture, draws your eye to the delicate details in the foreground, while the soft bokeh in the background adds a dreamy, tranquil atmosphere. A moment of pure natural beauty, perfectly frozen in time.
