p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · 130 acers of Sunflowers


My wife and I visited a farm with 165 acers of flowers, mostly sunflowers. It was a cloudy afternoon and we had a ball wondering through the fields taking photos.

Great photo subject. I really like that third shot for the combo of the flower head and the great background. Very nice!

Thank you Dave,

All those sunflowers made great backgrounds so the fun was finding compositions such as the third

Nice shots. I like them all, but the third one stands out to me because of the mesmerizing "path" through the sunflowers with the leaves reaching out across the open dirt but not quite touching each other.

Great shooting location. I like the leading line of the path in 3 and the beautiful complementary colors between the subject and background in #4.

Morris,
Nice to see that you are posting here beyond your bird work
I like #2 but I feel it's a bit unbalanced to the right. Maybe creating more diagonal lines or maybe having the big sunflower on the right with lines on the left leading to it. (sorry, that is a big departure from the pic you took).
Like the last one too. I rented the same lens and was very impressed with it.

Great set Morris. Love the 3 and 4 shots esp.
Haven't seen you much on FM lately. Maybe we haven't crossed paths. Good to see you again.

The black version is all black while the sliver one is black and silver similar to the Canon AE 1 and many of the old SLRs

Thank you Daniel,
I had a lot of fun contrasting flowers with colorful bokeh. I posted another thread about a field of flowers where I did this

Thank you Igal,
I think you nailed what could help the second image. I've been shooting too much avian, partially as an escape from the pandemic. I'm intentionally breading what I shoot and loving it. I've always photographed flowers, landscape and more
