    Dandelion

    I took this picture back in May on one of the really bright sunny days, where I could hardly see outside without wearing sunglasses. This image isn't really very interesting, but what I am pleased with is how I got the shot; I had to lay in the grass and shuffle along inch by inch until I hit the minimum focusing distance on my 55-250, fully zoomed in. By metering for the 'white' seeds that were very bright, even against the grass which was reflecting enough light on its own, I was able to underexpose the background, which only need a minor tweak in Aperture to remove a little piece of grass from the background.



    I see that photobucket isn't playing, so here's the link to 500px: http://500px.com/photo/43308728 Apologies.
    Within in my Billingham Hadley Large: Canon EOS 550D [Gripped], EF 50mm f/1.8, EF 85mm f/1.8 USM, Tamron 18-270mm Di II VC PZD, EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM, Kenko Teleplus DG AF Extension Tubes [36+20+12] and Speedlite EX430 II.

          The dark background sets it off well
