Daffy Friday

Daffodil a study

Friday 13th March 2015

We are nearly half way through March and I realised I had not photographed a daffodil. Perhaps because ours in the garden were flowering late or I had just not noticed them? How do you photograph a daffodil? Perhaps in huge swathes -  'a host of golden daffodils', as a bunch in a vase or just a single flower? I chose the latter. I back-lit the flower against a white background, then fired flash from the left. I wanted something that resembled a daffodil at the same time having a bit of a surreal look, the main overlapping petals on the right have created 'new smaller petals' as a result of the strong back lighting.
