Poppies

Finally found a poppy field. Lots of seed heads, so wish I'd found it 2 or 3 weeks earlier.

Very nice, Alan. The first shot's my fave!

Beautiful shots, like the first two particularly.

I like the first 2, not sure about the other

Lovely shots - I hope the camera didn't get damaged when you dropped it on shot 3

Very nice, no1 is my favourite.

Very nice Alan and I quite like #3 which I'd like to see, say, at A3 size in a frame. Can I ask what lens etc.

Stunning shots with eye popping colour. Like very much.

The first one is eye watering sharp. Lovely colour in all of them.

Thanks for feedback guys.

As it happens, I didn't like #3, but it is growing on me. They were taken as follows:

#1 18mm with the 18-135 @ f10
#2 24mm with Samsung version of the 12-24 @ f10. A five exposure HDR
#3 24mm with Samsung version of the 12-24. Exposure was 0.4 seconds. Had to close down to f22 to get that speed

The first one was taken on Saturday morning. I had been shooting the kingfisher, so the only wide lens I had was the 18-135, which I just stick in the bag as a matter of course.

Went back with the 12-24 on an evening hoping for a nice sunset sky

Beautiful shots. The strong colours in the first are stunning and I like the 'quietness' of the second. The third is fun !
