p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Wildflower Season is Upon Us!

I went with my family up to Table Mountain for a small hike (Two toddler boys and my wife) last year during our super bloom on Table Mountain. It was a crazy good year for the flowers.

They gave me about 45 minutes to roam around by myself and capture some photographs. I found this tree with the sun peering through it, illuminating the wildflowers in front in a V formation pointing towards the tree. What luck I was there at that point in time to see it. I didn't like the foreground so I tracked the light for a few minutes and saw it heading left. So, I set up my tripod ahead of the light and waited until the light hit the spot I wanted and grabbed this image.

Nicely done! I go up there a handful of times a year, and despite the impressive displays, it's not an easy place to get good wildflower shots due to the relatively flat terrain and lack of interest in the background usually. All that to say that this is a great use of the tree and sun!

For sure and thanks!

That's very cool. Nicely done. Symmetry is perfect, and the sunburst is really good. Did you use a filter to control the exposure.

Thanks! I wouldn’t say perfect, but I appreciate it (we are our own worst critics...).

No filter or multiple exposures were used. I had planned to focus stack but found that a single image worked well. I just underexposed about 2.5 stops.

Love the comp with the V trunk/shadow - even the flowers are in parallel. Nice!
