Edge Grass
More from the Friday Harbor archives. These scenes are the edges of the low cliffs that are common around the lab property.
I upped the contrast and that oversaturated the shots, but I like that colour of blue, so have left the saturation levels alone.

Canon 5Dii, Canon 50/1.4 lens and SMC Takumar 100mm/f4 macro lens, ISO100. EXIF data in gallery is inaccurate for aperture for the 100mm lens, but otherwise ok.

Wonderful compositions. The blue is enchanting. I especially like the point of view, looking outward from the grassy edge.
Hi Ryan – thanks for the comment. I like the point of view too – looking down over the edge would be much less comfortable!
Great shots, Ehpem, but the first one is incredibly beautiful. Subtle with a great graphic feel – bravo!
Thanks so much Lynn
The long exposure on water adds somehow to that graphic feel – blurs water detail but keeps it real somehow.
Pero que hermosas son……..
Hi brujjilla – thank your compliment.
I have some spare time (shocker eh..bet you thought I forgot about ya)! If I were to pick one I like best it would be Succulent edge, love the flowers in it!
Hi David – thanks for spending some of your spare time in my blog
I love those succulent blossoms too, they are so bright and found in such difficult rocky spots where little else thrives.
WOW is right! This is an outstanding series. If I had to pick a favorite (sometimes I feel compelled to do so), I would pick “GREEN AND YELLOW EDGE”. Or maybe “PILING EDGE, LONG EXPOSURE”. It could also be “YELLOW AND GREEN EDGE”. What the heck, they’re all great.
Hi Ken – thanks so much. These edges have a different meaning for me than these photos reveal. When i was a kid it was a forbidden zone, which I sometimes ignored. Once I fell over one of these edges (actually I think it was twice, two different locations) and somehow did not hurt myself (much) but it sure did scare me. And besides all that (or possibly connected) I don’t like heights. These are just high enough to make me feel uneasy – probably 3 or 4 m. So, there is something extra for me about making the edges look beautiful.
Wow!
Thanks Nandini
