All Faces East
by Liz Bickel

Before the Golden Hour

Once they start to bloom, most sunflowers will all face to the East; rather than follow the Sun: http://plantsinmotion.bio.indiana.edu/plantmotion/movements/tropism/solartrack/solartrack.html

For this image, I was shooting directly into the sun to the West.

Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ300

What a beautiful shot, Liz! I love the way you captured al of the sunflowers so that the light shines through the petals. The colors are amazing!

Gorgeous, gorgeous! I've only ever seen a sunflower field filled with flowers like this once and it was such a delight to see. You have come away with a truly marvelous shot. The back lighting makes this memorable, for sure.

Very nice! It is great to see so many and all backlit. Really cool...
