Crocus is a spring flower that grows from an underground tuber. The flowers arise from the nose of the tuber and they have a long tube with the actual flower at the end of the tube. The flowers are bright in color and are yellow, white, purple or blue.
The green leaves resemble grass but are slightly broader and have a silver-gray stripe in the center.

Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken right in front of our house in Ede, our home town in the Netherlands.

Time

Late afternoon.

Lighting

The sun was low, left side behind me, assuring a nice light/shadow display on the flowers. I just had to take care not to have my own shadow spoiling it.

Equipment

My Canon EOS RP, with Tamron 18-400 lens.

Inspiration

The beauty of the first spring flowers in the sun.

Editing

Some cropping.

In my camera bag

Camera, spare battery, and cleaning stuff.

Feedback

Just enjoy the nature around you, and shoot!
