Daffodil flower opening in time lapse

March 31, 2010

Here is a time lapse of a double daffodil flower opening?.

I’ve use a rotating turn-table connected to my time-lapse gear which links with the  growlight and heater to get the flower to open over a period of two days.

I used studio flash, mirrors, Nikon D300 55mm & 105mm Micro nikkor lenses

These pests eat the inside of your daffodil bulbs.

Discard the bulb as they probably won’t recover.
