Twenty years ago I bought my first digital camera. [Don’t laugh,] it was a Nikon Coolpix SQ Nikon Coolpix SQ: Digital Photography Review
Twenty years after, time is still running its circles.

Found these two in the garden. Love the soft colors. Both are tiny blossoms and the photos are severly cropped, because I had just my zoom lens along.

Friday night a friend of mine gave me this flower which I believe is an iris. The next morning I could literally watch the blooming happen. So beautiful.

Possibly being confused or maybe inspired by the ‘charge your batteries and take some photos ‘ post I decided to take the camera on my park walk to take photos of Spring flowers
my previous post being last year or decade, still on film 20 years ago
I didn’t get any pictures I thought were up to snuff, I was nearly at the end of the walk; it occurred to me that no matter what you believe or not, the bar has been set high on the subject of flowers by great painters, illustrators, spiritual teachers etc.
for example William Blake in poetry:
To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour
The last triplet of this poem appears in the Doors song: ‘end of the night’
A Peacock butterfly obligingly landed on some Blackthorn and I did another circuit of my walk and have some snaps I’m happy to share
I’m wondering if something like a variations filter might work on Darktable; a bit of a retro idea
This seems to be a tricky issue with digital photography : there are many ways of doing the same thing, possibly when upgrades of various sorts occur, something is lost; particularly for those who have not had the opportunity to study IT to some depth

Here is a new model, just in from the garden: Miss Anemone Nemorosa.
X-T4, kit zoom lens, lit by GrafiLite, and developed in RT 5.9-dev.
Have fun!

Technically very far from perfect; I shot this one pretty much blind (I didn’t want to lie on the ground). Heavily cropped from my little LX7’s 10 MP sensor.

Today, I mowed the grass for the first time this year.
While busy trying to keep the rows straight, I spotted
a sun-lit bunch of yellow flowers (Ranunculus ficaria)
at the edge of a large island of blue flowers.
They turned out to be a trifle difficult to develop.
This is my best attempt so far:

Today, I have been trying to obtain a “clean development”.
Whatever that means :-)))
Developed in RT 5.9-dev.
