Torched Silkby ~iamgoatman

Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Flowers, Trees & Plants

Another shot that isnt a land/waterscape im afraid. Haven't had the weather to be able to shoot much out doors and when it does stop raining its normally dull and grey.

Never the less its given my opportunity to try out some other ideas. Some old ideas mixed with new techniques, mixing the thoughts of old with the skills of new.
I must admit setting fire to dandelions and then shooting the after effects is one of my favourite subject matters. You never know how the flames will spread across the fluffy parachutes. Photographs of regular dandelions almost seem cliché to me. So i like to mix normal items with new ways to boost the interest.

After having a fairly long un-inspirational time i think its now coming back to me. But alas it seems like everything i shoot is not good enough and most never get used. Need to ease off the perfectionist attitude.

Anyway i hope you enjoy this one. Toasted silk poors from the plants crippled head.

Probably the most interesting and inventive idea I've seen for a dandelion pic on deviantart so far

~jahno-pictures Aug 5, 2007

great idea but a bit too dark

Too Dark? The histogram relays no pure black areas, doesnt look "dark" to me at all, but on my old monitor it looks dark because of the contrast, but to each his own.

wow, i've never seen a similar picture before

such a nice shot

Wow ! You dandelion Arsonist, you made quite a strong photo with a very simple thing ! I say strong because I feel drama looking at it...It has something of a profanation, the way it consumes itself in an inexorable way. You've just captured destruction, death an all the fascination it brings. Very good work !
