WILD BUT BEAUTIFUL - THE SILVER COCK'S COMB (POB PHOTO CONTEST ENTRY))
I was going for my field work rounds earlier today. I did not exactly plan to take pictures anywhere along the way because I already knew the terrain, but I still took my camera along nevertheless.
I visited a Primary Health Care Centre where I was going to do my work and noticed this flurry of pink in the uncultivated land space beside the facility.
They were wild flowers - called Silver Cock's Comb
Regarded as wild weeds by some because they tend to survive intensive weeding, they are easy to plant as flowers and need little oversight.
However, a prototype of these plants are grown commonly as a vegetable called "Soko" in my dialect (Yoruba).
I knew this was probably only thing I would be able to get shots of the whole day and so I took advantage of that.
Before checking in to the facility, I took some close up shots of the flowers with my 14-42mm MFT lens.
The sun was already out and shining at its peak, with little to no clouds to cushion its bright strenght, so I had more than enough daylight to flood the flowers.
Here were my shots:
Camera | Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH4 |
---|---|
Lens | Lumix 14-42mm 3.5-5.6 kit lens |
Editing | Lightroom for Mobile |

I love the vibrant colours of the flowers.
The complimentary colours of the background makes the photos stand out.
I guess there's advantages to lugging around a full camera 😄
Keep up the great work! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Oh yes... I carry all my 3 lenses in a duffel lunch bag together with the camera and my phone gimbal and there still space for more stuff.
I could easily take pictures on the go. That's the advantage of having micro four thirds cameras and lenses. Everything fits easily!
Omo! 😂😂😂
