Visions and Nature Wild Spring Snowflake flower photography
Wild Spring Snowflake flower photography
by Kristel Schneider
Yesterday I drove to Haute-Loire ( Auvergne, France) where I met Photog
rapher Sébastien Lamadon. Together we walked up the Suc de Bresse hill to look for Wild Spring Snowflakes (Leucojum vernum). As far as we know this is the only place where they appear in the Auvergne.
We were lucky and found a big patch of very fresh flowers. You could tell they were just out, impressive. The first thing I did was to put my camera bag down and I walked around. I enjoyed the sight for a while as I was thinking what kind of technique to use and what kind of compositions. The promised overcast day did not occur so the light was a bit harsh, but there was a lot of wind on one side of the hill.
I used my Canon 300mm L F4 IS, lens and I tried out various things:
– different focus methods, with and without a tripod
– shades and against the light
– blurry background
– smooth background
Spring is a great time for photography! Join me in the field during one of my
workshops. Other images in my Flower gallery.

Hi Kristel,
I like all of the photos – I’m a big fan of this sort of creative flower photography – but the last one is outstanding. Well, the first one, too 🙂
Great job and I can feel through the pics how much fun you had with these guys 😉
Thanks for sharing and best regards
Sandra
