Things I have Learned Concerning the Photography of Snowdrops


35mm Nikkor-O.C f/2 lens on a Nikon D2Xs. ISO 100; f/2, 1/2000th.
Things I have learned concerning the photography of snowdrops:
Snowdrops grow in clusters. If the front is in focus, the back probably won't be. You need a small aperture to get the necessary depth of field.
You can lie out on the ground to get composition and focus right. I didn't. I knelt on a plastic bag and held the camera close to the ground. I pointed the lens towards the snowdrops and set the focus to the distance I guessed was right.
I used a fast shutter speed and a wide aperture. This was almost as wrong as it was possible to be.
I don't think photographs of snowdrops are very interesting anyway. I only came here for a cup of coffee and a cheese scone.
