Sometimes the simplest subjects are very interesting on closer inspection. A very dense makro of a dandelion
A quiet morning walk along a dirt track close to home took an unexpected turn when my eye fell on a beautiful dandelion. The fluffy seeds were still tightly closed, and tiny water droplets were caught in gossamer threads like precious gems.
With care, I plucked the flower and carefully brought it to my studio. Once there, I hurried to capture the delicate, fragile droplets on camera. Time ticked away mercilessly as the warmth in the studio slowly made the delicate threads open and the water evaporate.
Limited time left me disappointed, but the resulting photos'd brought happiness. The images were not just a representation of a photogenic moment, but also a memory of the serene morning walk with our faithful four-legged friend Max. In my enthusiasm, I forgot the time and later had to apologise to Max for the unexpected delay in our morning routine. This photo, with its refined details and unique atmosphere, quickly became my absolute favourite, not only as an artistic creation, but also as a tangible reminder of that special moment.
