This shot “Daffodil Dreams” has a very funny anecdote. I had positioned my hassy on a tripod, directly behind the metal railing – about 3 feet from ground level. I had noticed in my peripheral vision that someone was also taking the shot of the daffodils from a different angle. I hit my shutter without thinking twice. While I was editing, I had a little surprise on this image. I had not realized the other photographer had stuck his hand and camera into my composition frame as well. See image below.
I would not have noticed this little surprise in the image if I had not zoomed in at 100% while looking for possible flaws on the scanned image. As I wanted to use this particular image, I had to crop a little tighter. As it turns out, it did not cause any detriment or improve the image.
“Daffodil Dreams” was published in PhotoEd magazine in the Winter 2009 (Black & White) issue.
