Things I have Learned Concerning the Photography of Snowdrops

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.

Why do people from the USA say they could care less when they mean they are supremely indifferent? It doesn't make sense.

The proportion of mustard in the dough mix can vary quite a bit. There is seldom sufficient cheese in the mix. The rule of thumb is to double whatever quantity of cheese is specified in the recipe. We probably need to set up a cheese scone appreciation group, but I'm preoccupied in planning the Magnet Joinery project. So busy.

William Burroughs wrote a similar sort of book: Junkie. A good read, but it sounds like you are going to have more detail in mixing the ingredients, which readers will appreciate. I look forward to your depictions of the catering establishments.

I’m sorry, but I don’t think Ipernity is ready for your Cheese Scone Appreciation group. I wouldn’t like you to be banned from using the site.

On your advice I have abandoned the idea of a Cheese Scone Appreciation Group. What could possibly be learned from a photograph of a cheese scone? I may have been influenced by a group in Ripponden known as The Old Bridge Inn Pork Pie Appreciation Society.

There are rumours that they can still be found on the Dark Web.
