Snagged seed

Gallery: Macro & Close-upPosted November 27, 201285 views4 comments

This Milkweed seed got hung up on another weed after being released from the pod. I spent several hours recently taking pictures of Milkweed, one of my favorite things to photograph in the fall. I have posted several other images from that outing in the Flora Gallery. More to come of these in both galleries over time.

Canon Rebel T1i. 180mm macro lens. F/4 at 1/400 sec. ISO 200. Tripod mounted, natural lighting

Very nice. I like the composition and colors. The light reflects in what looks like a thousand legs of a spider. Well seen.

Great find and capture, Carolyn. I like the way this sparkles in the light. It looks like a mini explosion.

A very interesting subject Carolyn reminds me of one of those fibre optic lamps from years ago. A great shot with the colours working very well together.
