Nature In My Eyes – Nature Photography

This is the way I see nature.  I love nature and if there is something that will make my day incomplete, it is if I fail to see these beautiful plants, flowers and trees.  For me, they are works of art that are already there and will always be there and the best part is, they are free and open for everyone.  You do not need to pay an artist or go to a gallery just to witness these magnificent masterpieces.

Yes, there is a dream of becoming a photographer of plants and trees.  I do not have any formal training or study about photography, so before anything else, I a want to apologize already if any rule in photography has been broken.  All I know is that I want them to look good.  The camera isn’t mine.  But it is definitely a Nikon D3100 DSLR camera.  Thanks to my friend to let me borrow it.  

Let me tell you a little bit about the following pictures that are taken with sophistication.  Most of them are macro shots.  Not really sure if that is the right term but it is a way of taking photo wherein the subject is so clear and the background is blurred.

1. This one right here is my Italian Oregano 2 months old in my garden.

2. This one is a Java Mint also 2 months.

3. This one is Lagundi (Shrub or five-leaved chaste tree) with a scientific name Vitex Negundo

4. Not sure what this one is but it is surely a flower of a certain grass that usually grow anywhere.  That description should do it for now. lol

5. Very common in the Philippines.  Everybody’s favorite Malunggay (tagalog), Moringa oleifera (in Science), horseradish tree or benzoil tree (english)

6.  See number 4.

7. Thyme.  The little crawling culinary herb.

8.  This is number 1 except it is more focused and it the white hair all over it shows how awesome it is.

Thanks for you time.
