There are always images waiting to be created, even early on a wet June morning. Pots of Hosta, Heuchera and Libertia on my patio, each with their own distinctive leaf shapes, textures and colours, were transformed as rain droplets collected on them, with the gloom accentuating their colour.
Leaning against the house for shelter, and moving my camera during the sequence of exposures, I captured their transient beauty as unique patterns that are at the same time bold and intricate.
This set of images was awarded the Royal Photographic Society Gold Medal for winning first prize in the Portfolio section of the International Garden Photographer of the Year Competition 14, 2020.
