Aconite and Snowdrop flowers opening time lapse

Aconite and Snowdrops filmed by Neil Bromhall for The Aconite are one of the earliest flowers to emerge in spring. As you can see they can tolerate being covered by snow and when the snow melts the flowers open in order to attract insects. They are a valuable food plant for insects in early spring, as are snowdrops. This sequence was filmed in my studio. I dressed a sets to match where the plants grow naturally. The sequence took several weeks to make. Each time the flowers opened and close it took one day to film. I frame every 6 -15 minute interval using Nikon D300, studio flash Music ’Bathed in the light’ by Kevin Macleod
