Today I was in the mood for processing some of my old photos. I pretty much painted the pictures with black and white -- until my eyes got tired. Again I suggest you admire the wonderful physalis flower, or to be precise, its wonderful seeds. When the hollow physalis seed capsule is deconstructed, the structure of the fibers "developes", as it was a leave - in combination with bokeh and out-of-the-focus capture it always looks spectacular and artistic. A real work of art, created by Mother Nature... but short-lived. Hope you enjoyed my mini-post today.
Сегодня меня посетило настроение для обработки старых фото, и я изрядно пораскрашивал картинки черным и белым, пока не устали глаза. Снова предлагаю вам полюбоваться на чудесный цветок физалис - точнее, на его замечательные плоды. При деконструкции коробочки физалиса, структура волокон "проявляется", как на листьях - в сочетании с бокэ и тем что не вся семечка оказывается в фокусе -- всегда выглядит очень зрелищно и художественно. Настоящее произведение искусства... но недолговечное.

I used six separate captures to combine in Photoshop (technology is named 'macro focus stake') to get the final image. Thanks to Adobe engineers, this operation is pretty much automated!

It's just a good subject for macro photography, and for focus staking too. My work as a photographer was here, of course ... but 2/3 were done before me - nature, weather, time (the seed has already begun to collapse and has lost part of its shell). My 1/3 was to find it, put at the light, and push the shutter, and perform the b-w conversion in photoshop in intelligent way, mostly thats all. Glad you got your visual enjoyment here!
