Back to the Drosera:
The day was getting on, and
I had finished my survey without having discovered any more carnivorous plant species or signs of human corpses, so
I returned to my starting point to photograph the flowering Drosera anglica that I had noticed when I
first arrived at the lake.
The play of light through their leaves was
really a thing of marvel, so I worked to get a nicely backlit image. However, I worked with all possible expediency,
because I had another lake I wanted to see before the day was
done.
As I composed this photograph, something peculiar caught my eye... It seemed that despite how carefully I focused
my camera, some of the backlit plants looked inexplicably fuzzy. I blinked, rubbed my eyes, but the plants still looked
odd. The flowers just seemed to glow somehow. It was subtle, but noticeable. In this photograph, they are the
plants in the two large clumps in the rear-center of this photograph. Do you
see them? See how they look a little different--a little pinker, without harsh contrasting shadows?
