What do you think of these? I used the supermacro mode of the S2, but I just cannot get them any clearer than this.

Kirsten

Absolutely stunning Kirsten! It actually looks like fireworks on the ends! You do beautiful work!

WOW! Those are very unusual pictures...something so ordinary and you can capture this detail with your camera. You are very creative, Kirsten. The title are just right also. Fascinating - I had to go back again and again to look :)

WOW!

Fascinating work, great job!!

any clearer?
I think they are BREATHTAKING!
excellant!

They made me think of fireworks too! Your photographs really are works of art Kirsten. Thank you for sharing them with us.

Amazing... :D GREAT work! :D

I wish I had a setting like that on my camera! Really stunning!

:D Wow, those are amazing and stunning. I can't belive something like that is even possible!

Those are stunning! I love the second one. The lighting is beautiful. You have got some great talent.

I wish you could hear me gasp. WOW!!! Amazing! Such clarity and beauty. WOW!

Dude, I freaking love those pictures! I love pictures likes those, I have been wanting to know how to do stuff like that, but for me its quite complicated. You are brilliant at taking photos!

How do you do that?! Those pics are amazing!

What kind of camera do you use?? Is it a professional one??

Those are awsome! I wish I could take pictures like that!

Wow wow wow wow wow.... did I mention wow?! Those are stunning! how'd you get the lighting so soft and intimate with the black background?

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:

Kirsten

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!
