Sun Flower

Aups, Provence, France.

Having taken a few wider angle views of masses of backlit sunflowers I opted to wait until after the sun had set to get softer ambient light and then photograph a single bloom close up with a wide angle lens to provide a sense of place with out of focus blooms appearing as random golden flowers behind. The twilight purple of the sky worked particularly well and the use of a white reflector to bounce some light into the main bloom povided that extra oomph to the colour and quality of the image.

NEW!! Photographic Holidays at TRANSIENT LIGHT.

Pentax 67 II ,45mm lens,Fujichrome Velvia
F11 at 1/2 sec, 0.6ND soft edged grad over sky to retain colour and a white reflector to add some punch to nearest bloom. full exif
