I was talking yesterday about how I made a little studio setup for photographing my dandelion. It occurred to me that you might like to see how I went about that. Here are two photographs of my setup. The only light is the studio flash unit up high on a light stand, lighting the flower from the top and slightly behind, and then I used two white cards between the camera and the dandelion, to bounce fill light back to the front of the dandelion. You can also see I used a black card behind the dandelion as a background. Seems kind of complicated, for just one small flower, doesn't it?

OK, I'm impressed! Who would have thought so much equipment and staging would be needed to capture the bloom of a dandelion. Very cool shot! The simplicity of the image with the complexity of the bloom is an interesting contrast. Thanks for working so hard for all your blog enthusiasts.
I agree with Ken. You are a commited blogger and I enjoy the photos & stories.
