Day 147 of 365


Just how many different ways can this guy shot a dandelion seed ball you are asking at this point I'm sure. Well the answer would be...until I run out of ideas or dandelions in my backyard. This was a two lens reverse macro against a blue background.

Wow! I might have to try that reverse lens approach some time. This one is spectacular!

The subject is particularly suited to the technique. I love the way it isolates the separate pieces of the seed head but leaves enough of the orb shape to know what it is.

Wow, wow, wow and allow me another wow for the road!(by the way, the 'wow's' are hand made! No copy/paste here! :P)
Stunning. Really. I could never thought that such a small part of a dandelion can become suggest a magnificent, tender work.
Glad you changed your blogs name, it's fits now :)

Thanks everyone :)

I wondered just how many different ways I could use the reverse lens technique on the dandelion. I'm sure I could do all sorts of different angles and lighting with colored background and such. Maybe when I'm done with the 365 I'll explore that :)
