Inspired by Agnes blog post, I took my camera and a tripod and drove with my bicycle to a nearby field to shoot some dandelion (Pusteblumen). Now… it is windy up here in the north of Germany. The dandelions were in motion, nearly all the time. I had to wait for the wind to calm down. Then a tried to get the “lucky shot”. It was next to impossible to get theses guys to stand still. But I had to take these photos today. I think tomorrow they will be gone… like little paratroopers of light.
Lovely!
Thank you, Angela.
BOKEH not booked, damned computer changed my word!
I love the softness of them you have portrayed here, and the beautiful booked too, also cool title for them. I have some in my garden….
Thanks for the compliment. It means a lot. You have a big advantage with your new X-T1. The LCD which tilts would have been very helpful. I wanted to create a crazy POV shooting one of these from the ground upwards. Not possible for an old man and a D800. See you later. Reinhold
Yes it is a useful feature, my knees are grateful!
Oh I can imagine how tricky it must be. I tried once to take that kind of shot in Iceland, near lake Myvatn. nothing was in focus… pfff 😉 Too much wind and no tripod !
A day with less wind would have been better. But it was fun standing in the field, grass in motion, dandelions in motion, flowers in motion… and myself in the middle trying to shoot a still image. LOL. Thanks for stopping by.
sun and the moon 😀
Thanks, I like that point of view 😉
I have the same feeling about them, I think in dandelions like if they could take the functions or essence of familiar objects. Nice little world the one of this post. Thanks Reinhold.
Greetings, Francis.
You should have seen me in the middle of this field trying to find a spot without wind. But I think if I do it on Friday (forecast says better conditions) the paratroopers of light have all left their base. So I think I have to be happy with the results for this year. Have a nice day, Francis.
Thank you for mentioning my post. Great work despite the difficulty because of the wind and nice bokeh everywhere. 🙂 I like that there is an other dandelion in the out of focus area in the first picture.
You are welcome. Today would have been the day to explain motion blur. I was standing on that field and everything around was in motion. But it was fun. Have good time, until next time. Reinhold
Beautiful!
Thanks, glad you like my photos. Next time I may have the chance to do this without wind. Kind regards. Reinhold
