Floating on

May 17, 2014 by Greg Molyneux

A macro photograph of a several wisteria blossoms. The diffuse processing lends a soft dreamlike mood to the picture.

Floating on — 100mm | f/4 | ISO 100 | EXP 1/125

I know. I’m going nuts with the wisteria photos. This one should be it. For this season anyway.

I’ve come to appreciate my wisteria. It’s seasonal bloom makes the extensive maintenance of trimming (re: hacking) and shaping worth it. If you’ve never encountered a wisteria just know that left unattended its creepers will reach out and take over just about anything. You can work this aggressive expansion to your favor if you plan a setup accordingly, as seen here. With a little forethought it’s certainly all worthwhile. In the interest of full disclosure my wisteria is not set up accordingly. I’ve always been better at giving advice than taking advice.

As for the picture, I’m drawn to the diffuse processing; reducing the clarity lends an ethereal feel to the finish product. As I look about the photograph my whole world slows down. I better appreciate the little things that while small simply hide in plain sight.
