What are the basic features of wild flowers??
Well.....they are wild, and they are flowers.. Everyone loves flower, right! Not when they are wild. But some of them are really beautiful.
They are found everywhere, and come in different shapes and sizes and colors. Smells too. Yup, smells too..but unfortunately no modern day camera can capture the smell and emulate into photographs.Alas! Anyways, photographing flowers is a joyous activity & enjoyed by many. We take photos of roses or hibiscus or daisies and what not. Wild flowers get no love. Not from everyone. But they are really beautiful, can be found in the corner of your garden, or a park where you regularly visit. That's why they are easily overlooked and ignored. As they are wild, they are found in jungles and national parks too. But we don't pay a lot of money for a jungle safari to photograph wild flowers, do we? So, what are we missing?
During the tour of M.P. back in 2013, I took a lot of photos of the wild flowers during the whole tour, never realizing that I'll be writing a piece about them. By the way, this is not a tutorial about how to take flower photos or what settings works best and all. I took the photos because they looked beautiful, and no people were crowding around them. As I said earlier, they are easily overlooked, so, when I transferred all the files to my computer, all the birds and wildlife, family pics and portraits, landscapes and butterflies along with the flowers were sorted. Other pics were printed or posted in social networks, but not the flowers. Recently, when backing up my drives, I came across the flower folder and thought about giving them a try. After a few tweaks, they came out nicely (at least to my eyes, please feel free to share what you guys think). Here goes a few of them.
I didn't think about researching them, so there are no names in any of the pics now. When I have more time I'll add them in captions. They didn't get much love from me either, for now. But, they have definitely changed my perspective. From now on, when I go to field for photography, I'll keep my eyes open for these hidden wild beauties. Until then..Happy reading.
