This is a photo of some mountain laurel flowers. One of the most beautiful flowers in the Appalachians. They grow in clusters on the trees, very much like rhododendron trees. This shows them in various stages of maturity on a single cluster, with more clusters on the same tree in the background and also some of the leaves in the foreground. In the winter they fold up into tubes when it gets really cold but they're not deciduous, they're glossy and thick leaves.

As an aside, I sure love the place I live. <3
 
Not very strongly at all, unfortunately. Thanks! It's another one from my iPhone, those things really take some nice photos.

I do try my best, I meant to say & did type "Needs to be shot with a high F number" though why it didn't show I have no idea.

If you actually took the time to see my photography & are aware of the PROVOKE/Japanese scene with folks like Moriyama etc you'll very well be posting "nice submission zoplicone bandit" very fast =D

What makes you think that?
What got me was when I started I felt I was "shit" too but I was passing my eye over Western work (Cartier-Bresson) & then I found the "New York" book by William Klein & then the work of the early 1960's Japanese folks & it blew my mind.

Like William Klein said "Fuck them all"

If you wanna do it go hit the street, you don't need a 10,000 dollar Lecia with a F1.0 lens or some 25,000 dollar DLSR to do good work, the first thing is you have to feel it & the rest comes quickly after that.

Well can't do much about that with an iPhone (I don't think), but I like it when the near background is blurred/softened so I probably would have done similar if I had had my Nikon 3200D with me.
 
I wish you could see the shit eating grin going on as I look through the submissions thus far =D

I think they call this feeling “rapture” in english :)

It is making me feel super nostalgic for my old poppy garden. Hopefully someone has some nice chicks and hens or Persian whites going and doesn’t mind sharing <3
