Dandelion Macro Photography

July 17, 2008

Dandelions are heaven sent for macro photography. They are soft but at the same time appear very sharp in photographs.

Photographers have been taking photos of dandelions with varying degree of success. The photo here, I believe, is very successfully taken.

This dandelion macro photo is contributed by Aditi Kidambi who has also taken some very delicious macro photographs which you can see on her Flickr page. Thanks Aditi for the superb dandelion.

By the way, the English name dandelion is a corruption of the French dent de lion meaning lion’s tooth, referring to the coarsely-toothed leaves.
