Sunflowers in a Field

[kiwiapple]

Every year, people come from all over NZ (and elsewhere) to photograph the sunflower fields that surround Oamaru. This year, to mark the 20th anniversary (I think) of their planting, the company behind them decided to hold an open day and let people come and experience the flowers in 360-degree Sensuround (c). I could not pass up the opportunity to join in, even though I had already shot them from the road many times, since I pass them whenever I go from my current residence to where we're building our new place.

Out in the fields with them looks like fun - endless ways to shoot them and they all work. I love the closeup in #2.

Super cool James!

I will admit when I saw the title my first thought was you had captured the Sunflower Galaxy.

But I do also love sunflowers, and here in the US there are scattered fields of them in Colorado, South Dakota, Minnesota, etc. So when I travel through those States, I am always keeping my eyes open.

So I really like how you worked these sunflowers, very well done.
