House of the rising sun!<\/p><\/div>\n

So, woke up this morning without a picture to my name. No. Not really. But I was inspired to get out before my shower to see what was happening, photographically speaking, in the yard. The early sun caught in the\u00a0dandelion was\u00a0irresistible.\u00a0\u00a0I tried a bunch of angles: high, low, with the sun, against the sun, etc. \u00a0For this shot I came in almost as close as possible. 1\/2 inch or so. Any closer and the forward reach of the globe went totally out of focus.\u00a0Maneuvering\u00a0the sun right behind the center mass of the seed globe and still catching the light in the umbrellas took a bit of trial and error, but this one works, I think.<\/p>\n

Sony DSC H50 at full wide and macro. F5.6 @ 1\/320th @ ISO 100. Programed auto. -.7 EV exposure compensation.<\/p>\n

In Lightroom, lots of fill light for the stem and center, added Clarity and Vibrance. Sharpen. Some Recovery and blackpoint, and moved the exposure slider to the right slightly.<\/p>\n
