New Angle on a Familiar Subject

Yellow Columbine, Albion Basin, Utah

 

I think this new image might become part of my portfolio. After more than a decade of capturing close-up images of Wasatch wildflowers, it takes something special, or at least something new, to get me excited about an image. One way to create new images is to photograph new subjects. When in the field, I usually don't want to spend my time photographing species of wildflowers I feel I have all ready captured in an artful way. I look for flowers that I've never photographed before, or species where I've never pulled off the artful image; never achieved my vision. This image goes against that norm, I all ready have a yellow columbine image I love (in my Wasatch Wildflower Close-ups gallery).
