Coriander Seed Balloon Ascension



I love how this looks like a balloon ascension, from below, just after the children have released their balloons to the sky.

These coriander seeds were so much more beautiful than I had expected them to be. With the gentle wavy fluting around each seed, their detail is delicate and subtle.

I think the alterations I made to my lighting setup for this shot helped to really make this photo stand out too. In this photo, and some others I will post soon, I have a light source above and below the subject, and catch a bounce off some side reflectors as well. The amount and quality of light in a photo tends to determine its success, often much more than framing, composition, color, focus, etc.

In this case, it definitely worked out well, I think.

Send me your suggestions for something tiny that you'd like to see big.
