Floral Folies Bergere
Vics Magsaysay
I planted the seeds of this plant a year ago.
I was a bit surprise that these yellow flowers with
such an alluring scent suddenly appeared
in the small pot in our backyard. Excited
I took pictures of this cluster outside late
in the afternoon. The images came out alright
despite the bothersome windy situation I
was in.
The following day I brought the pot inside and
used window light and a white board as a reflector. Tripod was used to minimize vibration. The results
came out a lot better. What fascinates me more was when the pot was turned 360 degrees to further "see" what's the best angle. Eureka! It is the interesting way these flowers bloom--a la Folies Bergere's (a famous music and dance hall in Paris, France) dancers.
In this photo there's dynamism, gaiety and "dance" the viewer won't fail to notice. Yes, in nature, if we are only patient and delve deeper into her beauty, there's an infinite amount of things we will surely discover and be rewarded with.
