Hopelight
A game of light and shadows. A hide and seek photographic composition. I stood low and went in, between, the leaves. My subject was hidden and I spotted it through a small opening. The foreground, backlight, leaf created the diffused light on the right and another shadowed leaf on...
The Turning Point
Until the moment these words are written, this photo is by far my favourite.
It was a very difficult shot.
I had to go very close to the leaf to photograph it. My beloved Helios is not a macro lens but its unique character is something I wouldn't change. To achieve close...
Continuum
A triple pattern of leaves that I came across last Sunday (20/09) during my usual weekend morning photo walk at the Botanical Garden.
These leaves always draw my attention. And in the morning sun, lights them from behind (contre jour).
I love the presence of the leaves on the left...

Turning Point
If it is something I love in macro photography, is the potentials one has to frame parts of the micro reality and present them in an abstract way. Forms, patterns, lines, curves and textures at any given subject, properly used, can offer great chances of interesting compositions...
Sense Of Delicacy
I've been studying these kind of flowers for quite o few time now. Gathered at a side of the botanical garden part that has flowers they are grown tall with very thin and long stem. They are have very beautiful shapes and forms and this one was ideal to what i wanted to do. I...
Discerning Perception
Shapes and formations always draw my attention. I like the way lines and curves interact between them aesthetically. I like to capture abstract thoughts that draw the eye because of their shapes and lines in relation with light.
These images although they do not show...
Solo
Each time I visit the botanical garden there is a small part of these greens. They make perfect subject and the rest of them create great background. They do not have these little purple things on them but very few of them. I liked this one but focus is not perfect. I took 7 photos and...
Beauty Shaped
From my today's visit in the Botanical Garden.
I came across these two little beautiful flowers! They were surfacing out of the greens around them and from the moment I saw them this is the pictures that came into my mind! They are surfacing out of the colourful palette of their...
Shinning Beauty
A flower portrait chosen from a bunch of flower of the same kind. I went inside a bush like bunch of flowers and this caught my attention. The surrounding flowers worked perfectly with the bokeh creating linear shapes. I wanted to give a little drama around my subject to create...
This is my first post so I hope I have posted this right;
This image was made using glass, bubbles, coloured LED's and a daisy flower.
Editing was kept to a minimum ,defocused outer edge was done in post. I prefer to make the scene surreal before i take the shot at least for this specific...
Ethereal
A series of photos created in my home. Smoke shapes and motion always captured my attention photographically. I've caught myself admiring smoke shapes countless times and some days ago I made two attempts photographing smoke using insense sticks.
Unfortunately I don't own a flash unit...
Mystic
One more photo I like a lot taken recently from a visit in at the botanical garden.
I used again my favourite lens Helios 81N 50mm f/2.0
I'm showing 2 versions of the photo. The first one is without post processing converted from NEF (RAW) to jpeg.
The second one is with Post...
Abstract Textures
Photo taken at the Diomidous Botanical Garden.
In a small technical swamp there are plants like these in semi dry condition that gives them a variety of colours.
I photograph in most of the cases having the sun against me. I prefer it because it highlights the textures. The...
Tiny Beauty
I come across these really tiny little quite often. I love them. I love their shape and form. But what I like most is their really small size and how delicate they are! Their colour stands out always. I' photographed them many times but this photo is my best of them until now.
I...
Brevity
Thoughts expressed with the only words needed....
Simplicity, Minimalism, Abstraction
Λακωνισμός / Brevity by Panagiotis Adamopoulos, on Flickr
What I love in macro photography is that you can get close and create abstract feel images with small things combining them with extremely swallow D.O.F.
