Snowdrops

[JohnC]

I took this shot on the same day as the swans and cat-the snowdrops are just coming to the end of their bloom. It was hard work lying down and being careful not to place my feet on the surrounding flowers- it cricked my neck. I hope to get daffodils and bluebells soon so I've bought this , I've tested it and it's great to work with and will be just the job for low level macro  too  http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-Angle-Finder-C-Review.aspx

That's a great shot John, beautiful carpet of flowers. Looking at the angle finder, that would alleviate a lot of headaches, and neckaches, as you put it. Been there, done that! Let us know how it works.

Lovely image John... I too would be intrigued by how you get on with the angle viewer.

Thanks a lot.  I think the daffs. will be out now but we have 3 days of rain forecast and I could cope with that if it wasn't heavy but there's going to be wind too and that's a killer     as all the flowers dance in a breeze or a wind. This photo made it into last night''s paper too. Hey, maybe they're  just short of people sending in photos LOl. There were two excellent shots two days ago,one was an adder asleep and the other was crocuses or should that be crocei ? lol If the day starts off with some decent light and no wind I'll nip to my location in the morning but the rain will be here by noon.Ugh. I read a lot of photography sites-  I mean prof. photographers' sites and read a lot of reviews and fortunately I read that although  the angle finder can be bought a lot cheaper in Hong Kong it doesn't show the settings in the viewfinder and that's essential for bracketing,I suppose you could just look on the top window of the camera though,I'd rather not be bobbing back and forth though.
