A One-Off
A friend sent me a flyer for a daffodil photography competition at the National Portrait Gallery. I laughed when I got it because I have never really ever managed to get a good shot of a daffodil. While I have no intention of entering this competition, it did challenge me to try to get some decent daffodil shots. So off I went to Brookside Gardens where thousands of daffodils are in bloom. I took hundreds of shots but not without a lot of aggravation. It was very windy. It is impossible to isolate the blooms against a background that will set them off. They are never exactly where you want them to be and there were lots of shadows. In the end, the fact that I don’t really like the color yellow all that much was confirmed, so this may be the only shot of daffodils in color that I ever post. There is another shot in B&W that I actually like better.
