Capture This Photography
Archived Illumination
Posted by Laurie (New Jersey, United States) on 7 April 2009 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
This is more recent than the previous 2 photos but it is still from the archives. This was shot this past Fall at the Rutgers Gardens on the Douglas Campus. That reminds me I need to get back there now that Spring is here!
For a much larger more detailed view go here.
See my new SLIDESHOW page.

I find this picture very beautiful, full of poetry and an old charming place at the forefront of still lifes. You can feel the lightness of the heads illuminated by light, we can see the movement of wind, it's very poetic.
