A study in Dripping Dandelions
The weather has been unusually good in Finland the last week yet, I have hardly had a chance to enjoy any of it so this afternoon, I decided to indulge myself and headed out with the camera and some extension tubes (poor man's macro) to see what i could see.

I spent most of the time slapping myself quite literally as there is a massive amount of mosquitoes in the forest and every time I paused to take a photo, they chose to indulge themselves also by tucking in on imported meat. However, it was a pretty good time had by all and I was able to experiment a little and capture these. Although not quite I was after, I think they are pretty interesting and I will attempt something similar again, hopefully with more time and less mozzies.

What I like about macro is that even something as ubiquitous and ordinary as a dandelion can take on new forms and perhaps, with the right light, angle and a little luck, can even transform into something quite special. The images I generally like the most of mine are the ones that tell a story and even though there is not much of a narrative in these I quite like them.

The first in the  series is the one I enjoy the most though as for some reason, it gives me a sense of adventure, someone stepping out of the shadows of others into the sun and striking out on their own for the first time. There is a feeling of embracing uncertainty, taking a risk and stepping off the edge. Something I currently identify with well.
