A Hairy Secret! by myautofocuslife

A Hairy Secret!

Who knew the center of some daisies would be this hairy? Do they experience puberty or something!? 8D

Do you know, Livia, even though I did Biology and learnt about the sexual life of plants, I never before thought about whether or not they have puberty! You have a very original mind! Fabulous shot, too! :-)

@darsphotos @tford I use the Sony NEX-C3, which is a mirrorless interchangeable lens camera. The macro lens I use with it to take this shot is the Sony 30mm f/3.5 macro lens. I think it's one of the shortest and smallest macro lens out there. I have a photo of the camera and lens here: http://365project.org/myautofocuslife/365/2011-12-30
March 1st, 2012  
Beautiful macro! I noticed this on some gerbera shots I took a few weeks ago and was also surprised by the fine hairy bits!

It always amazes me what I get to see in a macro shot and then what I get to read in your comments when I wake up the next morning! Thank you so much for taking the time, thank you so much for your constant encouragement. I am grateful.
