Good grief I’ve been wanting to photograph dandelions for ages. I thought they must not exist near me, but last weekend I found one trapped within the apple blossoms in my front garden. It turns out that I’ve photographed one before when it was in the yellow flower form – I never knew what this flower was until I googled it today.
I grabbed it out and took these photos in the early evening light – one hand holding the dandelion, one taking the shots, all wavering in the breeze – sometimes the waverings were synchronised 🙂
I have two galleries for you, my apologies for the large number of shots, I was so happy to find this little specimen! The first gallery is in black and white.
This second gallery is different shots to those above and I’ve also left them in colour – I quite like the pink roses blurred in the background.
Finally, I had to use my favourite iPhone app (Typic) and add some words and a teensy bit of colour to one of the images.
All photos were taken with my Olympus OMD EM5 with the 60mm macro lens.
