This one looks fantastic really with all the details visible perfectly! It's a challenge for me now to learn macro photography and I'm glad to have found your blog - it contains lots of beautiful macro things to watch.
Never looked at a dandelion clock this close. Will go outside and try to find one and look. The way you captured it is just great! So beautiful! Wonderful photo.
I was pleasantly surprised at the way this photo turned out. It was a hand-held shot, so I wasn't expecting much in terms of clarity. Thanks for your feedback, it's much appreciated.
I'm glad you've decided to start macro photography. There's not really much to "learn" so to speak - just set your camera on macro mode and start shooting! You'll pick up the most useful tips by yourself.
It is nice to go out and look up close at nature sometimes - it is amazing what you can see! Just make sure someone doesn't come along and see you lying flat on the ground talking to a dandelion.....! :D
I can feel that same atmosphere you seem to have felt - the photo conveys the feeling imperfectly, but in nature the expression is fully realized. Make a wish - and thank God for the beauty of creation!
Thanks for your comment. Hope you have a lovely W.W. too. Glad you liked the dandelions, maybe next time you'll be able to think of them in a new light.
I agree - I can never manage to think of these beautiful plants as weeds! Then again, if the definition of a weed is "an unwanted plant" then these certainly aren't weeds. Something to think about..... :)
That's interesting, I think I've seen a few other shots close up of dandelions, but never this exact angle either. Thanks for your copmment, hope you have a lovely day.
That's one of the things I love about digital photography - it's so easy to blow things up and retain perfect detail. My camera is 9MP, so it's quite good for that.
That was one of the beautiful things I only noticed about this plant while looking at the photo - those tiny dimples that add so much to the picture. Thanks for noticing!
Thanks for your comment. I appreciate the detail you went to in explaining the detail (if that makes sense!) All the best with your continued blogging, have a great week.
Hmm, I haven't seen Horton. But one person's interpretation of art is never "silly" - after all, art is all about interpretation and personal feelings!
My husband hates dandelions! He does lawn care though. :-) In this shot it looks so beautiful! I really love the composition. The weed became a work of art!
As a matter of fact, I shot this with a prosumer digital camera (not an SLR) from about 15cm away. It does have a good macro, but this photo is digitally cropped.
My father never liked dandelions, and I still tend to think of gardening when I look at them! But they are very beautiful when you see them close up, even if they are weeds.
