👋🏻 Hey, I'm Matt! I live on Vancouver Island (Canada) and take photos for fun. These few give a good impression of my overall style and subjects. PNW vibes for days, macro shots of mushrooms and water droplets, and the occasional waterfall for good measure.

A delicate, glowing mushroom with a slender stem stands tall amidst a dark, mossy forest floor. The soft, diffused lighting enhances the translucency of the mushroom cap, creating a magical, almost otherworldly atmosphere. The background is blurred with a shallow depth of field, drawing attention to the fine textures of the fungi and surrounding moss. This photo captures a serene and enchanting scene of a small waterfall cascading gently over moss-covered rocks. The long exposure technique creates a smooth, silky effect on the flowing water, adding a sense of movement and tranquility. The rich green hues of the moss contrast beautifully with the warm, earthy tones of the rocks and branches, creating a harmonious and natural palette. The composition draws the viewer's eye to the center, where the water flows in delicate streams, evoking a peaceful, almost meditative atmosphere. It's a mesmerizing representation of nature's quiet beauty. A perfectly round water droplet rests on a vibrant green blade of grass, acting as a miniature lens that refracts the world within. Smaller droplets trail along the leaf, adding to the sense of freshness and tranquility. The soft-focus background creates a dreamy, ethereal effect, making the single droplet the center of attention. This is a stunning macro photograph of a delicate pink flower adorned with glistening water droplets. The image captures the intricate details of the flower's petals and stem, with the dewdrops reflecting light beautifully. The background is softly blurred, creating a dreamy and ethereal atmosphere that emphasizes the flower as the focal point. The warm tones and gentle lighting add to the overall aesthetic, making it a visually captivating and artistic shot.
