Description
AlooooHa Ya'll!
Hope everyone is enjoying their Sun. and of course getting some great shots! Took a trip up to Volcano village this morning hoping to catch some mist and great light. I pretty much caught neither as it was clear of fog, but quite overcast..boooo! While driving around I spotted this little powder puff in a ditch on the side of the road. It called, I shot it, here it is. Not what I had intended to shoot, but sometimes you gotta work with what ya got.
Just a little reminder to all who are learning macro: Don't get to close, manually focus as much as possible, and always, always use a mono pod, or preferably a tripod. I can't count the times I had a beautiful capture blurred to hell by the slightest movement. Nuff said...
As always, best viewed at full size...sorry this one is kinda big, but I wanted the detail to show in this.
Mahalo for you comments left on my last images, it's inspiring!!
Have a great Sun. and a wonderful week....Aloha!

An excellent shot, man -- you've found beauty in the seemingly mundane. I like that.
The humble flower with so much class! Beautiful composition.
Powder puff? LOL! How cute is that name!!! It looks alot like dandelions doesnt it? But powder puff sounds soooo much cooler! Like a superhero-gang or some kind of cereal, lol. Beautiful photo once again buddy. These all would make a beautiful calender. Have a great sunday! #:O)
I keep meaning to buy a tripod, but still haven't....maybe someday! Nice Dandelion shot.
Beautiful macro of this lovely puffy flower. Excellent detail.
Serendipity, talent, and a keen eye combined to create a strikingly beautiful photo my friend. Did you use a scrim?
Making the ordinary extraordinary. That is what a real photographer is made of. Another great job. I believe the "powder puff" is happy. Aloha
Oh yes, always so much work to get a macro shot, I just usually try not to breath when I am pushing the button,lol. Very cool shot here.
