This is why you don’t always need to get everything in focus when photographing fields of flowers this spring

White snowdrop flowers in woodlands with blurred foreground and background.

While major snowstorms have hit the east coast of America, in the UK we’ve had another typically mild and unexciting winter, with no snow in many places. But who needs snow when you have a million snowdrops…

I usually only photograph snowdrops in our garden or local woods, and you often just get small patches of these tiny white flowers hiding under trees. But this year I made the journey to the amazing location near Newbury. Inside a large, fenced woodland there are so many snowdrops, it’s like snow has been dropped creating a floral superbloom to compete with the wild flowers of California!
