Mark

I know this sounds a damn silly question buit how do you take your super snowdrop pics, particularly showing the inner marks? Is it a case of wearing an old boiler suit and lying on the ground, or what?

Mark - We hope to go to the RHS Show in February. Looks like the flight possibilities are the 16-23rd/24th of February. Might the Cottage event be the one to attend or which do you rank as tops on those dates?

The Gala Feb 14th ;D It's closer and in North London. The CGS event is 100 miles away. It's probably sold out but I might be able to sort out ticket/s. How many?

That's fine, but you are at 6 feet above sea level, your camera is at 5 feet, and the snowdrop is at 4 inches. Do you get all your pics by having the snowdrop up in a pot in mid-air or do you have some fancy extension for the camera to lower it down to the snowdrop in the ground? A sort of periscope?

It's a combination of on knees, hunkers or hand held in one hand and camera in the other.

Mark  - Would need two tickets (was that for the Gala or CGS?). I'll see if any flights work out for the 13th redeye and be back tonight. Would have to go directly from Heathrow methinks.

thanks

That camera would buy you an Ecusson d'Or and a bacon sandwich.
