Dandelion Clock II

This is a failed attempt to capture the dandelion seed dispersal. My wife helped me by holding the dandelion and blowing on it while I position my camera on the plant.

I actually wanted my image to look like this:

But it turned out like this instead.

I guess its either my skills just wasn't as good as I though it would be or I am just asking too much from my Canon G11. What do you people think? Do you think the G11 is fast enough to capture the image I have in mind? Let me know your thoughts.

Dandelion Clock

Today my wife and I was taking Rae out for a walk and I so happen to see some dandelion on the sidewalk. I do not recall ever seeing any dandelion when I was in Brunei. After some research on Wikipedia, I found out that it only grows in temperate regions. I remember when I was a kid, I would sometimes see cartoon or TV character playing with dandelion by blowing on them. I didn't pluck one to blow on it because I didn't want to spoil it.

Here are some closeup that took me about 10 minutes to take as I was trying out several positions and angles to get the best shots.

Hope you enjoyed this short picture post.
