Three very unusual dandelion pics! :)

I've seen alot of pictures in my life but those have to be some of the most awesome pictures I've ever seen.

I am also gasping here in front of the computer. Ooooohs and Aaaaaahs all over the place :eek: Unbelievable!! What a talent!!! :D

WOW is right! What amazing photos!

Wow! (Gosh, what a novel comment! :rolleyes: )
Those are gorgeous, Kirsten. Beautiful lighting, and I love how the middle one has strands that appear slightly out of focus, very lovely!

AMAZING !!!


I loooooooooooooooove them !!!!!! so beautiful!!!

Thank you very much! :)

@jenn_librarian: No, I don't have a professional camera, I wish I had. I have a Canon Powershot S2, and it's a good one, but it's no SLR! When I see at fotocommunity.de what others do with these cams, I can't help but finding my work very poor, compared to theirs. But a camera like mine has clearly its limits.

@catnapper: To make these photos, I took the dandelions with me; it was an indoor shooting. I placed them in front of a black background, and under a lamp. That way, I didn't need the camera's flash.

The day before, I tried to take photos like that outside, but I just couldn't get enough sharpness. This was the result of the outdoor shooting, it was not so great:

I came back for another look. WOWSER!!!!! :D

Did you have your camera on any other special settings or just "P" and SM?

These reminded me of one of my favorite pictures that I have taken..also of a dandelion!
