A Little Girl Created Organic Instagram Filters!

This girl was flying her kite so gracefully, from faraway. The light at the Kite Park was perfect. Backlit and gentle wind lifting strands of her hair. But I needed one more element to frame the subject, make it a balanced visual composition.

Unexpectedly, a little girl next to me started shooting soap bubbles into the air. The telephoto lens (600mm) defocused the nearer floating bubbles into colourful circles. Unwittingly, the toddler created the most beautiful organic Instagram filters ever. Magical!

She’s Like The Wind

And likes the wind. Billowing gently when she’s happy. Cuts you deeply when she’s hurt. Hitching a ride on the wind, her off-springs leave her as soon as they are born. She’s known as the lalang locally or the ‘blady grass’ in other places. Considered weedy and invasive, the Imperata Cylindrica is unappreciated beauty when she blooms. Catch her backlit by the sun and you have a wonderful subject for your lens.
