Yesterday, cloudy but warm; today, snowy and cold. These have gotta be some of the heartiest flowers on the planet... hang in there, little buddies.

Daffodils 080221 (DSC_0054)
Dimwad here forgot to re-set the camera to RAW+JPG after yesterday's lighting class, so tiny JPEGs was all I had to work with today...it's always something
Daffodils 080218 (DSC_0038)
The blossoms are open, the camera is on the ground on a tiny, almost toy tripod, and I'm practically on my belly to get the shot... thank God for a right-angle viewfinder on my D80....
Daffodils 080215-2 (DSC_0106.JPG)
I just liked the detail, how the petals lay over each other while the they gather up the strength to venture out into the cold...

Daffodils 080212 (DSC_0088.JPG)
It's raining this morning. I didn't think I was going to go out and shoot the daffodils in the rain. But I went out anyway to see how the buds were coming along, and when I saw the rain drops on them I went back inside and got all the gear. This one was done with the Nikkor 105 Macro AND the Nikon #6T diopter, focused from about 8" away.
The hardest part (other than being on my knees -- I really do need me some knee pads!) is just waiting for even the slightest breeze to abate in order to get a sharp image. Just look at the water drop on the very tip....

Daffodils Day 3 (DSC_0057.JPG)
This one was taken in late-afternoon light on Sunday Feb 10 (with an umbrella to soften the light). I used a tripod and was on my knees in the mud for like 45 minutes. I've decided my next piece of photo gear is going to be a sturdy set of knee pads....
Daffodils Day 2 (DSC_0021.JPG)
Macro photography, what a concept. If I'd realized what a contortionist I'd have to be, I'da just gone straight into the circus...
Daffodils_080208 (DSC_0015.JPG)
It's the first week of February, and already the daffodils are coming up in our back yard. Can spring be far off? Yeah, it can...
