I got out for a bit on Saturday before the wind picked up and shot some dandelions with the Canon MP-E 65. I also found some tiny spiders to shoot, but wasn’t happy with any of the results for a number of reasons.

The images were shot at a variety of magnifications from 1x to 5x — the full range of the MP-E 65.

All of these shots are of the same dandelion in its “parachute” phase. The last shot is at about 5x life size. Shooting through the parachute canopy gives the hazy, ethereal appearance.
