Biljana had an idea for a photographic composition; something very specific, a snail in the bush of brnistra<\/a> plant. We’ve been looking around for quite a while, and the brnistra blooming season had almost finished, and we haven’t found a single snail on one, which is uncommon, since we were used to seeing them around.<\/p>\n

Today I decided to try our luck – there’s a place where there’s a lot of those bushes, and I chose early evening, when the light will go horizontally through the bushes; it was somewhat overcast, but not to the point where the light would suffer greatly.<\/p>\n

We actually found a few snails on brnistra, so Biljana got busy<\/a>, while I found some butterflies in the briars<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>We both used macro lenses for this shoot, and they did great – the butterflies were calm and cooperative, and I could get very close, but I noticed one thing – unlike way before, I no longer try to get the tightest composition possible, and try to fill the frame with the butterfly. The fact that I could doesn’t mean it would be the best composition, or the one I wanted to get. Now, I prefer them wider, more atmospheric. I see that as an improvement – I’m not unconsciously trying to prove that I can technically do something, and instead I’m doing what I actually want.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I also took this abstract. It feels liberating, not caring about demonstrating what equipment can do, but instead doing my own thing with it. And yes, I also got a snail. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
