Surreal close up colour photograph of long overgrown grasses in a meadow in spring.
Lots of grass stems are visible, one or two in sharp focus with most blurred behind. Each stem has lots of spikelets at the top, almost like a dense furry tail. All of them are bending towards the left hand side of the frame, like they are blowing in the breeze.
The colours are very striking; everything is bathed in deep rich tones of red and orange, with just subtle hints at green in the grasses.
Another close up photograph of different grasses in the same meadow.
This time some of the grasses are more delicate, with just a few small spikelets on delicate branches at the tip of the stems. More blade-like grass leaves can be seen too. Much of the image is in soft focus, with some of the blades of grass and seeds in sharp and semi-sharp focus. There are blurs in the foreground that seem to be more grasses blowing around. The overall effect is crowded but dreamy.
The image is bathed in the same rich orange and red tones as the others.
Another close up photograph of grasses in the same meadow.
This time the image looks into a dense of those long grass stems with the almost furry looking 'tails' at the top. All of them are leaning off towards the left of the frame, blowing in the breeze, and none of them appear to be in sharp focus.
There is a real sense of motion in the scene.
The image is bathed in the same rich orange and red tones as the others.
Another photograph of grasses in the same meadow, this time with a slightly different feel.
Several different types of grass are in the frame this time, including many which have dense spikelets arranged up the length of the stem, and one in the centre of the frame with much sparser, delicate clusters of seeds on the end of tiny branches.
Again, only a few stems of grass are in sharp or semi-sharp focus, and the rest is a dreamy blur behind. This time the image is less crowded and has a more airy, open feel.
The image is bathed in the same rich orange and red tones as the others, but this time slightly lighter and leaning into yellows in places.
A few more - I just sat in amongst the long grasses on a slightly breezy spring day and went with it.
Pretty happy with the results!
