Spring is here which means it is Macro season. I took a lot of pictures of tiny bugs and nice flowers but they just didn't appeal to me. Spring in the Midwest also means that it is dandelion season. I decided to take some shots of this one and out of all the pictures today this dandelion was the most compelling to me. It's probably also the reason why my whole family is sneezing and sniffling but that's another story… I used my Nikon D7000 and my new Tamron 60mm Macro lens. I really like the lens by the way. I used the manual setting, f/13, ISO 100 and 1/250s for the shutter. The smaller aperture allowed the background to fade away into a nice green/black void that I like. The smaller picture is untouched, no post processing, and the larger one is sharpened a bit. Thanks.
