Setting Sun

A telephoto shot of this fritillary flower near my home in Ljubljana. These are one of the first flowers to pop out in spring and it became a tradition for me to go to photograph them. It's getting harder and harder coming up with a different shot!

It's wonderful!

Idea for the next shot: mirror under flower than capture it as if you're looking up towards the flower. Hope that makes sense. Also dismiss if it's a bad idea :) Posted 3 years ago

  That's brilliant idea! How many times I've struggled getting down low enough for a shot... Next spring a mirror comes with me! Posted 3 years ago

I see this as a large 3'x4' wall hanging. Calm and soothing.

A mirror. Never thought of carrying one. My backpack is already overloaded but I'm going to give it a go. A small makeup foldable mirror might be just right. Posted 3 years ago
