Starsphinx Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I am struggling with a plant ID and having noticed how helpful people are thought I would ask. I believe the plant is Tansy - but it does not look quite like the stuff I am finding on google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Bell Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Looks like a Tansy but leaves do not appear to be Tansy, they are more like thistle of some kind. Could you show close up of flowerhead? Allan Could be just my eyesight is not too good just now. Below is one of mine which is confirmed Tansy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starsphinx Posted July 31, 2018 Author Share Posted July 31, 2018 Unfortunately, I did not get a close up of the flowerheads as had a call to pick my son up. For what its worth the flowerheads are almost like ragwort but without any petals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiskerke Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Dutch: Boerenwormkruid. (farmers worms herb) Don't make tea of it. Especially not when pregnant. It probably does help against worms though, but may kill you as well. If something looks different from normal it's very tempting to a photographer. Extremely much less so for a client. Good stock is making something really ordinary look really really good. wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the Alamy "we don't mind about composition because you never know what people are going to be looking for" spiel. I will keyword as Tansy until I find out for sure its something else and will try and get back and see if I can find the plant to get better identification Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to make the really good look really ordinary so I'm half way there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starsphinx Posted August 2, 2018 Author Share Posted August 2, 2018 Just to update people - I actually managed to find my way back to the plant today (something I cannot always do as I tend to wander a bit lol) and took a very careful look and can confirm it is indeed Tansy - for some reason the leaves look way weirder in my shot than they do on the plant itself - probably not a good thing lol. Thank you to everyone for your help and input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am working towards upgrading the glass lol I asked because there's a well documented problem with the appearance of foliage when raw files from (some) Fuji sensors are demosaiced. I've not heard of a similar problem with Nikon cameras (and I never had a problem when I shot with Nikons). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I dont mean anything like that I just seem to have caught angle and light in a way that makes the leaves look more similar to ragwort leaves (deep lobes) rather than the more feathery structure they actually are.
