Grass and grass seed.
Unlike snowflakes, many blades of grass look exactly the same..

This is the warm up for a series:
Once i get a handle on the macro aspects I'm going to concentrate on emphasizing background bokeh.
Sorry.
Didn't realize that points were supposed to be made along with the publishing of images into the gallery.
Of course anyone would also be welcome to post their own images of grass or grass seeds!
I don't think one looks at individual blades of grass or grass seeds,often.
Anyway, I don't recall seeing any recently.
I agree, you dont see many shots of that kind or kinds of grass.
I can see where a series could be built from the variety of angles and types of grass that are common to a particular area. Rye Fescue, Bermuda and sassafras or all the different blends from Florida.
Blades with dew or pollen making for original composure designs.
keep us posted as you continue the study
When I first looked at it. I saw wheat grass and did my best to make the horizontal stalk across the bottom into a loaf of bread.
Keep on mowing that idea and let us see what gets pruned with your macro efforts.

Mowing is quite funny and appropriate.
Here's the first results of macro pruning: This time with a much better lens a Canon 50-250mm.
Much more foreground detail and beginning with some neat light ray dapples in the background.
A little closer to to UHH standards, I hope.
I gotcha now.
Great use of the macro and DOF and creation in focal point.

Thank you so much!
This is my vision for my next level of workmanship. I hope to perfect both.
It was a little harder than I guessed. I did not expect that inanimate grass would move at all while I was trying to capture. It.
Thanks for the encouragement.

Nice observation
Thank you.
It's feels so strange to change focus from scenic mountains down to "ant level".
youv'e been to the mountain now grovel in the soil!
keep working and share what ya'll come up with
Dont be afraid to use wind blocks just outside the range of your lens. A cardboard box or suspended sheet or you best friend with an open coat.

Oh wow!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS PRACTICAL ADVICE.. I naively thought photography was like golf: you had to play it how it you found it..
Thanks I feel so stupid now.. but this is great next time will be so much easier thank you
Thank you thank you.
Now that looks good and the DOF worked well for you.
I use the ideas shared especially when working with bees and such in the spring. they can be fast moving little buggers for sure.
use slower speed and natural lighting and capture the wings movements that tend to be a blur ( on purpose)..
are those blue bells or what??
