Shades of Green: A Day at Arboretum Kalmthout
Embarking on a photographic journey with my Canon 5D Mark III, 7D Mark II, and an array of lenses—including the Canon MP-E 65mm 5x macro, Sigma 100–400mm, and Sigma 18–85mm—I explored the verdant beauty of Arboretum Kalmthout, Belgium. Accompanied by my son, an aspiring botanist, and a close friend I've mentored in photography, we immersed ourselves in this lush haven.
The arboretum unveiled a tapestry of green: close-ups of aquagreen berries, leaves adorned with glistening water droplets, unopened flower buds, and myriad other botanical wonders. Each subject presented its own challenge and charm, captured through the unique perspectives offered by our diverse equipment.
A particularly cherished moment was capturing my son in the foreground, diligently searching for unique plant species, with my friends exploring in the background—a testament to our shared passion for nature and photography.
This collection celebrates the myriad shades and textures of green, highlighting the intricate details that often go unnoticed. Stay tuned for more glimpses into our day at this botanical treasure.
