Jewelweed: Kennebunk, Maine, USA, August 2025 — I can not tell you how often over the years I have tried to photograph Jewelweed. It is so tempting. So intense. So textured and so sculpted. And what it does to sunlight, or in sunlight is miraculous. Always. And yet, it is very hard to photograph. Not only is it almost always blowing about in the least of breezes, but there just does not seem to be any way to catch more than a single angle, and managing exposure to bring out the translucent splendor is difficult at best. So, this is perhaps my 10th attempt this year 🙂 Sony a6700. Tamron 50-400 at 114mm equivalent. My macro mode modifications to Aperture Program. Processed in Photomator.
