Dandy Softly


Little Dandelion


Yellow Dead


Last of The Dying



Was trying to do a contrast between the light fluffy 'Dandelion' phase and the dry 'dead' phase. Hope you've enjoyed them

Well I have to say those first two shots are amongst the best Dandelion shot's I've seen. The smoothness across the whole image is wonderful, and that absolutely gorgeous turquoise colour in the background is just gorgeous... what is that if I might ask?

Not so keen on the second two, but I get what you're trying to show.

Kudos Mr Jones, super shots.

Thanks John~
The first 2 were shot using an extension tube (+6 and +3 respectively) + OM 50mm f1.8 (@f1.8 and f5.6 respectively), lit with an Metz 48 flash + O-Flash adaptor (Poor man's Ring flash). The green background is my work folder.

Both were crossed-processed, the 2nd had a bit more work to bring out the shadow and details.

Loving the flash + extension tube + OM 50mm for 'extreme' macro~

I'm not surprised you're loving that combo when you're getting shots like those.

Re: My Dandelion Series

I really like the first two, especially the pastel colours of the second, the square format and the way the seed lines lead to the head.

Hi Mr Jones

I think the first two shots are fantastic.

Re: My Dandelion Series

Like the first two but there is a little something about the last image.
