At noe så enkelt og hverdagslig kan trylles til noe så sinnsykt vakkert Yngve… du tar rett og slett pusten fra meg med dine bilder du mann, helt enormt!! både teknisk og symbolsk
Tommelen opp, men like
You are, as always, too kind. I only got five images of this seed before it fell off, so I was lucky one was usable. The most time consuming part was preparing the dandelion with tweezers.
Beautiful. Just beautiful. I always look forward to seeing your pictures, pure pleasure
Thank you, Line.
This picture is just amazing. I really like the details and the black and white setting. Very good work!
Thanks a lot, Jelrik. I seldom use black and white, but for this image it seemed perfect.
Very stylish image with good depth of field on "umbrella ". The picture was in black / white!

Kjempestilig bilde med god dybdeskarphet på “paraplyen”. Bildet gjorde seg i Svart/hvitt!
Thank you, Simen. At this magnification and distance depth of field is always difficult to get right. According to info on file the distance to the focus point is about 33 cm, with only about 2 mm of depth of field. The fact that the dandelion was slowly but constantly dropping certainly didn’t help. To get the lighting right I used an external flash, bouncing it on the ceiling.
