Show us your daffodils!

Tobers · 16-03-2007, 11:14 AM

Hi all,

How's about a collection of daffodil pics on this thread? They are sprouting all over the place at the moment so the timing is right. Get out there in the fresh air!

Here's one for starters taken this morning on the way to work. Haven't had time to PP it yet so pretend you haven't seen the dust splotches and the contrail for now - I'll tweak it this evening.

Canon 350D
17-85 IS lens at 26mm
ISO 100
F22
1/10th
Tripoded

Inspired - I nipped out and made this about 10 mins ago at the front of my office.

EXIF should be embedded

Some very nice shots here!

Here's a recent attempt of mine:

Ah guys you are killing me!! I am in work and our cr@ppy internet filters block everything from Flickr etc, so all I am seeing is text commenting on these excellent photos!!!

GET ME HOME!!!!

Tobers · 16-03-2007, 1:48 PM

Great stuff everyone. I like the narrow depth-of-field shots. I should have tried some of those this morning with my daffodil hill.

Any more....?

alj23 · 16-03-2007, 2:33 PM

couple more on my flickr site

just need a sunny day and I know just which lovely patch of daffodils I am going back to with tripod and a bit more time !!

Great shot guys

Here's my attempt...took it just now...

please comment

alj23 · 16-03-2007, 4:57 PM

looks good to me - I am going to have a go with my nifty fifty next I think - didn't take it out with me when I did my pics so reckon that deserves a try next time

I took this a few weeks ago. Had a play with selective colouring.

Fozzybear · 16-03-2007, 5:27 PM

A sepia daff:

from my first test roll through my Nikon F80. The colours looked odd so I had a go at a mono conversion. Probably didn't help that it was backlit through a green blind! Getting colour right on my negative scans is something I need to work at though.

bowenjones · 16-03-2007, 5:40 PM

Some lovely pictures here

Living up in the hills, our daffs won't bloom for another week or so yet

One of my first shots taken with my 350D last April was of some daffs. Slightly overprocessed this one

alj23 · 16-03-2007, 6:04 PM

thanks pixelpixel - he loves posing for photos so couldnt resist it as he had sat on the grass next to me while I was taking the first of my pics

chrisbaker42 · 16-03-2007, 10:13 PM

Like yours a lot Fozzy - here's my effort - and can someone tell me why my pictures only come up as thumbnails?

SweetGirl · 16-03-2007, 10:27 PM

I think it because you clicked the attachment icon instead of the landscape icon when you added ur photo.

chrisbaker42 · 16-03-2007, 10:36 PM

Thanks sweetgirl you are certainly living up to your name. Only problem now is where do I find the URL it is asking for?

SweetGirl · 16-03-2007, 10:40 PM

i save my photos onto flickr and the url link is displayed under properties (click right button on mouse)...copy and paste...

your URL link should read something like this-

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/158/4...66a6a5ed24.jpg

you can post preview before submitting to see if it has come out like you wanted it to.

Hope this helps...

Tobers · 16-03-2007, 10:40 PM

Great photos people. If its sunny tomorrow I'm off again to get a shallow DOF shot of that lot I took today.

Yandros · 16-03-2007, 11:46 PM

Still working on the narcissi.

Best of a so-so bunch from the other week...

*Dar* · 16-03-2007, 11:46 PM

Here's mine. There is actually a daffodil macro challenge on another forum I visit. Going to pick up a bunch tomorrow and set up some lighting at home for it.
