Sunflower macro by phil_howcroft

Sunflower macro

Our two 'his' and 'hers' sunflowers are still worth a photo on here.

This is 'his'......'hers' has not opened yet !!!

A close up of the inside of the sunflower..all yellow and all seeds

Hope you like this. A two handed 'hand held shot'...one hand on camera..one hand on the stem of the sunflower to stop it wafting in the wind !!

Great capture!

I've taken photos like that with one hand !! How intricate when you look at all the centre parts of this lovely sunny flower & how clever is nature !! Are you off work today Phil ?

Great job Phil - that two handed business is really hard to do even without macro - I have lots of rejected blurry things! Hoping 'hers' is going to be pink...!

Excellent, on 3 fronts.
1. his - first!
2. two handed camera dance.
3. cracking close up of all the seeds - love it.

This is amazing. There is so much more detail here than I can see with my naked eye. LOVE IT!

Very neat. We used to grow them and then found out the dog was allergic to them. He'd get bumps all over. No more sunflowers here!
