I am at a total loss - just how do you photograph a daffodil? I know this is a bit of daft question and one I have tried to address before with no real answer. There are always plenty of clichéd shots - brilliant yellow flow against a blue background but is this the best I can do? I really don't know and anyway I haven't found any locations this year where I can make such photographs.
The overpowering effect of a daffodil is that of yellow. There are other shades and colours but they are never satisfactory - a daffodil is yellow - ask any Welshman. To date I have produced some shots but I am not happy with any of them. It is so frustrating but this is how we develop - have, what seems like, an impossible task and slowly but surely chip away at it. Of course there is another problem with daffodils - they are seasonal and so very shortly the problem will go away for another year. I suspect I will be writing about this issue next and the next and so on. They are so frustrating!
