[Leica] IMG: Life Cycle of a Dandelion

[matthew at hunt.tc (Matthew Hunt)]

Dear Jim

I enjoyed this, and it was helpful as I have been trying to photograph
dandelions at the moment.  I think there is a bit of overexposure on the
yellow dandelion flower which is something I've noticed with flowers, they
are much brighter than they look.  I have never managed to get as sharp a
dandelion clock!  Did you stop right down?

Best wishes, Matthew

Still experimenting with the Summicron-R 50/2.0, I saw this example of the
three phases of a dandelion's life.  The background is cluttered because of
some lawn reseeding and straw.  OK, its not much of a lawn in this area, but
I'm trying to do better.

Best viewed large.
