MAPLECOPTER MEMORIES

Speak of childhood memories!!!
One night we had some gusty winds, a bit thundery, so in our garden on the grass were hundreds of those, blown off their home, the maple tree... No seed in there yet, they were fresh, so no flying... we'll have to wait for Autumn.
The innocent fun you could have with those twirly thingies, throwing them up, running after them (kept us fit!), guarding your 'best' ones!

Used the ring flash on this.
Now, DO NOT rush out to get one of those!
It is not a priority, has quite 'limited' usage, is particular and specific and not the easiest to use! I use it together with other sources of lighting, but that's my game, my challenge(obsession?) PLAYING and PAINTING with light.

Sometimes I just 'feeeeeeeeel' like this, an image in b&w...
I love the subtle tones, all the varied tones, that give the flower/petals/stems their texture, depth and form, their delectable shapes accentuated, extracted and emphasized without the colour. Don't you agree?

Have a fun day and thanx, M, (*_*)
