This is the first time I've really taken a close look at an individual dandelion seed - I was struck by the almost fractal nature of the seed with respect to the whole dandelion head.
The individual fibres are also surprisingly rough and spiky.
I will have to revisit this one I think, perhaps I should drag the microscope out and get properly close in on the fibre structure.
This one is at 5x magnification.
A backup photo from last week, as I'm very sure that you don't want to see the boring, functional photos of disconnector contacts and ammeters that I took at work today.
Finally back up to date on posting (statement currently valid for about 36 minutes...)
A backup photo again today, shot a few days ago.
This was my second go at this shot, I'd spotted and shot it a couple of days before, but the camera had focussed on some embossing on the back ring rather than on the painted text on the front ring.
Really odd, because I'd carefully moved my focus point to exactly where I wanted it, on the text, and then taken several shots, refocussing at least a couple of times.
If I'd been using a DSLR, I'd have started suspecting AF calibration or microadjustment errors, but that shouldn't be a thing with mirrorless, so perhaps it's just a simple lack of talent!
Who knows? Anyway, I got a chance to have a do-over, and it came out better, so it's all come out in the wash.
With occasional punctuation.
Back in Blighty again - I went for a walk as the light was fading this evening. This pink flowery article punctuated the greenish gloom quite nicely.
