p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · The Whorl of the Fern


If you catch them at just the right season, these opening fronds of new growth are visible between the dying ones of the previous year. They are very close to the ground and I adopted various semi-recumbent positions to get these.

I would normally use at least two flash guns, preferably three. The task was difficult enough without multiple light sources, with excessive shadows a likely issue. So I proceeded with a single gun and I was pleased with the results.

Daylight and stereo images will be posted tomorrow.

EM-1, Olympus 4/3 50mm f2, single flash, hand-held. Apertures variously, f13, f14, f20.

(I note that more than 5 images are now allowed)

Good choice on the lighting.
They always look like curled-up strips of shaggy string to me.

These are beautiful Harold! I'll have to pay more attention to my ferns.

Great detail. It's neat when things start up again in the spring.

(Couple weeks to go at least for us, though.)

Thanks, Archibald.

Yes, and many appear in pristine condition for the only time.
