There was a row of houses behind me on the opposite side of the road, they woke up to this every morning..

oh my you had to wait that long for the weather? I have been known to go home and get the camera and go back right away but now that im smarter I take my camera whenever i step out of the house.

It was more a case of the RIGHT kind of conditions, I could have gone the next day but I wanted the best light possible. I work not far from this field so every day I would have my camera gear in the car and keep my eye on the weather when leaving work. So that thursday evening I thought this looks promising..

rapidvision [2008-08-02 13:23:57 +0000 UTC]

Hmm.. the poppy field exposure is great, but everything above it has really low contrast.. You might want to beef it up a bit, push highlights/midtones, because right now it's not looking as real.

Really nice though! You must have been pretty excited to have a photo of so many poppies!
