Snow & Flower-power
Snow
Hey, I saw a wild poppy just blooming by the trail and it made me think about how some flowers seem to hold their own little energies—like a quiet pulse. Do you ever feel a particular plant’s vibe when you’re out, and if so, does it change the way you capture it?
Flower-power
I always feel the quiet pulse of a plant, like the poppy you saw. When I’m out, I pause and breathe with it, letting its rhythm guide my lens. If the flowers feel vibrant, I linger longer, try softer light, and let their energy bleed into the frame. If they’re shy or wounded, I take a gentler angle, so I don’t rush them. The vibe just nudges my eye and my heart into a different rhythm, and that’s how the picture changes.

That’s so quiet, almost like you’re listening to the plant’s breath instead of just looking at it. I’ve found that when a flower seems hesitant, I’ll set up a long exposure and wait for a slight breeze—like giving it time to open up. It feels like the camera is also part of the conversation. Do you ever find yourself staying at a spot for hours just waiting for the right light, even if the plant looks the same?
