The night has come

crab spider dahlia night photo 3.jpg

I don't normally take photos with a flash. I know that it helps sometimes to show all the details. And I have tried that, but until I get some nice and portable flash diffuser I just don't use it and rely on natural light most of the times.

But one late evening as I was chilling in the garden this little crab spider showed up. To be able to photograph it I had to use flash.

Funny thing. I looked those those shot multiple times... back and forth... and only now I noticed that there is another tiny little spider on this flower.
Can you see it on the first photo? :)

A little bit further away I got Lavender and Larkspur. The first one was planted on purpose and taken care of. The second one grows where it wants and spreads the seeds on its own for the net year. Both equally pretty.

And lastly one that I thought was there for a reason. The bush is quite tall and it blooms with multiple, tiny little white flowers. I asked mum what it is and she said it is a weed and she is not supposed to be there. She just forgot to pull it out :p

Pretty weed :)

Sometimes, even the most unusual things can be subjects to photograph, such as “the bushes” your mother wanted to pull out; it is the idea with photography to create art even from the least things we expect.
P.s. I rarely do flash photography as well, but in some instances, I managed to capture some interesting and nice subjects with the flashgun.
Is better to use flash than not being able to photograph at all due to lighting conditions.
In the end, I want to say: amazing photographs, I love them.

Wishing you all the best.

I had to look pretty hard, but once I saw the tiny guy, he stole the photo's limelight.

Depeche Mode was one of the first few bands that I got into as a young kid. Great music! Enjoy the silence still comes up on my playlist from time to time. That’s a cool little spider you captured there… I mean to call little spiders LOL. I could use a new flash or diffuser myself, but I am reluctant to buy one. I want to set up a photo box so I can get some decent photos a few items I have lying around the house. I’ll need some sort of diffused flash device at that point. We’ll see. Nice flower photography!!!! 🥰
