Open Sesame, Toasty and Delicious



Toasted sesame seeds, looking like crusty eggplant buoys, floating on a luminous blue sea. Or perhaps tropical aquatic plants that have floated up from the reef and will wash up on the beach.

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

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.
