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 clich??d 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!
