I had an incredibly busy day today, so I only had the time
for a short walk around my local area. The weather has been rather miserable,
and I was lucky enough that I was free and could seize the short dry spell we
had this afternoon.
It has also been very windy today, so I didn’t find many
good photographic opportunities. I had been walking for about 20 minutes when I
saw this lone dandelion, which caught my eye for the simple fact that it was
one of the only plants left with seeds in tact. I put the camera into it’s macro
mode to try and capture the most detail of each seed.
Later, I cropped the image to remove some of the background
as there was nothing behind the dandelion, and to remove some blades of grass
caught at the bottom of the photo. I also converted it into black and white and
increased the contrast. I love the depth of field in this picture, as the
background looks much better blurred. I think this works really well as a
portrait shot, and it draws attention to the amount of detail.
I may try some more effects in the future, just to see what
happens.
