130324_072529_29455 Green Among The Grains (Sun 24 Mar 13)

City Beach, Wollongong, Illawarra, NSW

I've taken a number of sunrise shots over the beaches of the Illawarra this year, though not all have been posted or even selected for posting amongst other shots of that day. On this particular morning I decided to do something a little different; whack on the macro lens and zoom in to some of the plant life that manages to make a living for itself amongst the sand grains of the foreshore.

I still couldn't give up that early sunrise light colour, though.

The light and the small amount of sand still on the leave make this a great image. Feels like you are right there!

Gorgeous light, and the sand on the plant gives the image an extra feeling of realism. ~V~

Macro shooting is a pure art form, as is post process with it too- There is some software that takes all the various focal points from macros to make a whole perfect in focus image. Expensive but pretty darn cool…

The light is great and I like those little grains of sand/salt. I keep meaning to take the macro to the beach and do something similar.

The golden light illuminates this little green leaf beautifully. Super macro. V.
