Eigentlich wollte ich etwas ganz anderes fotografieren. Vor Ort musste ich feststellen, dass das so gar nicht funktionierte, wie angedacht. Also hab ich kurzerhand umdisponiert und mich auf die Gegend konzentriert. Gottseidank spielte das Wetter mit.
Taken in my garden.
Photo taken at Randfontein in South Africa.
Using the Tamron SP AF 60mm f/2 Di II MACRO 1:1 LD (IF) (model G005N II) lens.
I Shoot Raw and edit in GIMP.
I am open to critique.
Thank you all very much for your visits, favs and comments. Each one is dearly appreciated!
Just think how many seed pods are in just one Cattail head. Look at the original size and you will see what I mean. Some are drifting off in the wind at the top. The day I shot this and some others it was 23 deg with the wind blowing.
If you like go to 'All Sizes' and look at either the 'Large' or better yet the 'Original'. Look just above the top bursting pod and you can see the fluffy seeds blowing away.
The Black/Whiteprocessing matches the drama of the moment as strong wind blew the crest off another wave behind.
The waves are channeled into this ice formation where they then explode looking like a volcano erupting.
One of the more fascinating focused-stacked mineral sphere macros I've shot thus far, this image brings to my mind the surface of the sun, or lava exploding from a lake of fire... This came from my Cobra Jasper sphere.
Also, given the abstract nature of this image, I find I see a lot of faces there, some of them could come right from a horror movie... The name for this is Pareidolia which is where the brain tries to make sense of an image and to impose structure and order to it ;)
As usual, this was taken using the Cognisys Stackshot. About 40 images stacked and merged using Helicon Focus and processed in Lightroom and Photoshop with tender love ;)
See my older post on how this is done. Ever since my previous edit I didn't like the mask I used to blend images. Since it is a pano and blending isn't straight forward. So I had to rely on auto mask and then manually fix it at pixel level. Here's the final clean edit of the milky way arch rising over Mesa arch.
Flower photographed in Burlington, Ontario, Canada. Wonderful colours that just radiated in the bright sunshine.
The treasure inside the blossom :-)

Exploding Inside.
Your putting it on the line,
Showing me the white in everything you do.
Your opening up this time,
Allowing me to see the real you in you
And journey's do take time,
but your hand is firmly in mine
we'll guide each other through
to see your smile,
my lifeline.
I could not believe my eyes when I saw this goatsbeard (Tragopogon dubius or western salsify) plant growing on our acreage! I love experimenting with the seedheads!!
Tragopogon dubius (western salsify, western goat's-beard, wild oysterplant, yellow salsify, yellow goat's beard, goat's beard, goatsbeard, common salsify, salsify) [...] has been introduced into North America where it has become widespread, being reported from all the continental United States except for a few in the far south-east, and all provinces of Canada except Newfoundland and the northern territories.
Like most salsifies, the Western Salsify grows as an annual or occasionally biennial forb, reaching a height of typically 20-60 cm but sometimes almost a metre. It grows typically in warm, sheltered spots with moist soil. Its yellow flower is 4-6 cm in diameter and is likely to be seen in late spring or early summer. The flowers open early in the morning and often close up by late afternoon. Later the plant forms a seed head that resembles that of the dandelions but is distinctly larger. The seeds themselves (known as achenes) are 2-4 cm long but featherweight, weighing about 8 mg each on average. [...]
And a chorus of different names and languages sounded like exploding bombs

The first time you encounter the exploding seed pods of Impatiens you will never forget why they are called 'Touch-Me-Nots.'
