angles and f/stops

Want to capture a SilverPuff on a bright, sunny day? Move in very close and use a large aperture.

FYI: For those who are still trying to figure out how to spot the special Lindley’s Silverpuff: The Lindley’s grows as a single flower (and thus a single puff) and is typically 6-8 inches tall.

Note that these Silverpuffs are in a group and are tall. This species can have two, three or more flowers growing from their base and are usually 12-18 inches tall. Although this puff does have a faint gold stripe, the Lindley’s has a a very distinct and larger gold stripe on each section of the puff thus making it a treasure to find!

  1. Nice shot.1/4000 of a sec shutter speed helps too. I would probably walk right by these mistakenly thinking they were dandelions gone to seed!
