Great photo! You know, a lot of people seem to think that if you take a photo on automatic (as opposed to manipulating all the settings yourself) that it makes you less of a photographer, but I think the fact that you saw something, pulled over, and decided it was worth preserving is what photography is all about.
I have so many of those moments traveling with kids that we should have stopped and smelled the sunflowers more. Just so much road to cover getting in the way.
wow, great color! I need to upgrade my camera. Any advice you have would be muchly appreciated. :o) 7waites at gmail dot com (if you have a second LOL)
This picture is stunning!! I have come to realize that most photos are once in a lifetime photos and this is one of them. There's no way you could recreate this day, the color of the sky, the brilliant bloom of the sunflower, etc. It's so great you stopped the car and took that!!
I almost always keep my camera on automatic, it makes it so easy.
On our way to Rhonda in Spain I had Jeff pull the car over so I could some photos of the incredible Sun Flower fields. This is why I own Nikon D-80. It does all the work for you. I took this photo on automatic, I had no idea what I was doing other than pushing the little button on top of the camera. I had thought I would come home to do some photo enhancing on the sunflower photos - but none needed. I swear the sky in Spain is a different color blue than I have ever seen in my life.
Can you believe this was just on automatic? Can you imagine how much I am regretting not getting the kids out of the car and taking a family photo in the field? Silly Me.
