uring the next three hours or so, I was
surrounded by splendor, but it was a real
challenge to find subjects situated such
that I could actually make them into pleasing
images. Everything was sparkly and bright,
which made it difficult to find subjects without a
distracting glare behind them. I had the best luck
with seed heads or leaves that were isolated by a
few feet from neighboring vegetation. Then I could
either use shallow depth-of-field to blur out the
background or get low enough to frame my subject
against the clear blue sky.
