p.1 #1Pollen I-IV
So I got pollen on the rear element of my Loxia 21mm which caused bad flares on several occasions, almost ruining my photos from last weekend trip. I promised to publish a series about pollen. Here it is!

Thank you Dale. I accidentally noticed these as I was looking at terrain maps for my next trip. Then I looked at a puddle of water which had similar patterns all over.

They are...especially #1 which in my eyes has a warped out figurine with a loooong nose, teletubby antenna, eyes and mouth.

Fascinating patterns! I like these very much.
Thank you Linda. It is funny that most of the time we all walk over perfectly suitable photographic subjects

Thanks! I ordered a huge print of #3 as it looks wild already with a large screen.

Very nice, the 1st being my fav. due to the higher contrast and dark water. I also unexpectedly spent some time on the same subject when hiking to Paloose Falls in WA this spring. I was lucky to have a small cliff I could stand on above the water so I was looking directly down on the patterns. It was a grey day, so I had to process with added contrast and lowered blacks to bring out the patterns.

Irritating subject, but the images are nothing to sneeze at!
(sorry, couldn't resist)
Interesting abstracts captured well.
