Canon EFS 17-85mm
Due to bad weather, I had no choice but to bring this daffodil indoors to create this shot.
The weather went from so so to bad the day before they started to open.
Not easy to photograph when the flowers are facing downwards.
Placed in a vase it took a day for the flower to face up.
Since colour is very important, I only used natural light.
The details are also important, so I got as close as I could with my EFS 17-85mm lens, which is 13.8″ (35 cm).
To reduce camera shakes, I used the tripod and the timer.
Up close, you can clearly see the pollen on the stamens.
Now I’m thinking of adding an Extension Tube to my kit, so I can get even closer.
