Spring is never far away from our hearts when we see Snowdrops. True there could be frost and much snow yet to fall but Snowdrops show us that the life within the ground is shooting forth and that there is much natural vibrance just waiting for the longer warmer days. Snowdrops appear quite delicate and yet they are robust enough to weather the harsh end of winter. They keep on flowering through snow and frost and year after year they resiliently return to show us all that Spring is on the way.
The brilliant white petals of Snowdrops present some problems for the photographer. Their natural sheen renders the flowers into a highly reflective bloom. The flowers often grow in the darker areas under trees where their stunning white appearance attracts the viewer. The only way to ensure good pictures involves the photographer discovering just how wet the winter has been. Good pictures of Snowdrops may well be brilliant white. In capturing the pure clean image of the Snowdrops the appearance of the photographer can become somewhat less than clean and far away from pure.
