The last of the Snowdrops!!
At the beginning of the year I decided to reduce the number of photos on the blog, I know that sounds strange …….. So, I hope I have managed to select the One Snowdrop out of the many taken. As normal loads more at Flickr.com and of course I am always willing to sell them printed upto nearly 4 foot wide – smaller sizes also available!So here are some more
One of each – a tulip and crocus from the garden, a orange centred daffodil from a friends land and red and purpl/blue primulas from the plant stall down the road! Photographed in my tiny studio using flash, daylight low energy spots, background card and a spray gun! Enjoy! And as normal loads more at http://www.flickr.com/photos/reflexrover//sets/72157626047684117 Did I mention these are for sale – resticted and limited editions up to nearly 4 foot on the longest edge, even larger are possible!

Two Pots, 2 Flowers from the garden and a Daffodil!
But, you will only see one today! With a studio shoot of 412 and some of them cracking shots as Wallace would have said (that is Wallace and Gromet not Mrs Wallace!) it will take a while to reduce the number to a manageable size! New back lighting has been fun and very effective! Anyway to wet your appetite – or drive you away completely…………………Playing with light!
I tried a few outdoor flowers but the wind and the slugs were too much! So, back in the studio, a new cut out for the snoot and some nice local daffodils and crocus and off I went! More at http://www.flickr.com/photos/reflexrover in the new Spring 2011 ptIII set. And my photos are for sale!!

Spring again!
Whilst the weather stays bright I seem to be in the studio – somewhat perverse you may think! Anyway, some of the specie flowers have wilted, but the crocus and a nice hyacinth given to us are still going strong, so they were shot! Also, in the garden was a log that had been growing fungi for a while seem a suitable subject! On a technical note the snoot has been oin action and so has the mister, I am still not sure about misting flowers…… Next will be daffodils, there is a bunch starting to open on the studio table at this very moment (of course if you read this later it will not be true!). Of course more pictures are available at Flickr.com in my Spring 2011 pt II set (direct link)

Spring – Sprung – Sprong
Or so it seems, still cold, wet, frosty …… but the Snowdrops are out! Also, the nursery had potted specie iris and crocus so I could not resist!! So armed with spray gun, camera, flash and snoot it was time to spend a happy hour or so in the studio. Trying to continue on from last spring of lighting the flowers from the inside but very hard with such spikey plants!! Lots more at Flickr.com

The Tamar River
A walk along the Cornish side on the rivers edge, waiting for the tide to go out. Lots of pictures of the three bridges in the mist! The rest are on Flickr Incredible light and wet feet. The mist slowly rose but I have kept the images slightly dark to give a vague mysterious view!

Snowdrops – Spring begins!!
The first day of sunshine for a while, and the snowdrops are wagging their heads! Because of the neighbours fence the sun does not quite reach the snowdrops anymore, so, a gold reflector was used which gives a really warm feel, an evening light! How many more oportunities there will be I do not know, the tree under whose protection they grow is about to have a haircut so they may get stood upon or hit by flying logs – I hope not!! Last year the neighbours tree cutters dragged all the branches across them, ruining the surrounding natural background and the flowers….. Maybe next year will be OK!
