Photographing Wild Flowers

[Mike Farley]

Coincidence can work in strange ways. Following Adrian Davies' excellent talk at the club last night, this article has just appeared on the Amateur Photographer website.

I think the main obstacle here is finding a nice field of wildflowers in the first place! Surrey has plenty of fields but knowing what has been left to grow wild is a tricky thing. If anyone knows the locations of these fields please share

Admittedly a lot of Adrian's work tends not to be of the the "here's a pretty flower" variety, but he did give details of some locations; White Down for bluebells and Oxshott Wood for a rare fungus being a couple of examples and he also goes to Wisley.

I would not recommend following his lead and shooting a salt loving plant by the side of the A3 though, that did sound scary.
