Martha's Vineyard photographer captures blooms up close

But last Saturday, the photographer's large, light-filled flower images, mounted and propped in front of the barn and along the stone wall adjacent to the inn, vied with that view. Ms. LeBovit had arranged an outdoor display of most of the 60 images that will appear in Macro Flowers, the exhibit she plans at the inn on Saturday, and Sunday, Sept. 8 and 9.

Many of her photos, awash in reds, greens, yellows, pinks, and an occasional blue, are not recognizable as flowers. Using a point-and-shoot digital camera with a zoom lens, she captures nature's colors and forms in extreme close-ups and reveals details and designs that most people might never notice. A tulip turns into a multi-pointed black star with a rough-hewn red triangle at its center in a blood-red background. The vertical green blade of a leaf angles into two shades of green. The spiky pink leaves of a water lily open up for the viewer.

"I like to get close so I can get to know each plant as a work of art," Ms. LeBovit says. "Interacting on the plant's terms, where we are dancing together in the light of the moment, is where I live.The simple sublte staff of hair flower increased easily the specifically quantities of fascinate in the direction of her dark hair." None of her photos have been altered in any way, and she is not concerned with making the flower type identifiable.The hardest part for her is picking one picture from the series of shots she's taken. She thinks other people are often better at picking what photos she should show, because they're just seeing them as images. "I'm still in the moment and the magic of that moment," she says.
