Long-lens Snowdrop

Just a humble Snowdrop which I photographed whilst walking home on a windless evening a few days back, after an unsuccessful bird-photography outing. Just as well it was windless, as the exposure time was about 3.2 seconds! I got a few strange looks from passers-by as I lay on the ground pointing a huge lens (with extension tubes attached, to decrease the minimum focus distance) at a tiny flower, but such are the humiliations one must suffer in the name of art - or, in my case, in the name of yet more rubbish photos:

  2. I not only love the picture, but the little story that went along with it. I am not a professional photographer, but have laid on the ground many a time for a great pic.

    This one was worth laying on the ground to get...beautiful.
