On this summer evening our main plan was to shoot the night sky, but off course my photo buddy and i didn’t want to miss out on the sunset either. Rushed by the clock we went to this isolated windmill just in time to see the sun set. At first there weren’t any strong compositions to be found until my eye spotted these magnificent purple wildflowers!
This result is a focus blend of 2 images and a 3rd one to expose for the sky highlights.
Can I not post photos in the groups I belong too or only via the portfolio which has stayed stuck on the same allowance for weeks.
A couple of old photos taken while the Amtrak was stopped - somewhere in Colorado, I think?
(And yes, I like that the vertical leans!)
I've photographed Ady a few times now. We get better each time as a team. This image was a fave from our latest session. I hope you like it to.
Just a heads up for anyone that may be interested (and as things are slow in the group.....).

Great shot. Love the colors and light.
Many thanks. Happy you like it. This shot was actually a little unplanned, but turned out fine after all :)
Cool shot in the golden hour!
thanks a lot Peter!
Hi Kevin, I think there's a bit too much dead space between the flowers and the windmill, you should have been lower to the ground so that the flowers are clearly pointing at the windmill. Too much dodging on the flowers too, they don't need to be this bright, there's a lot of haloing on the top of the flowers. Once you find the balance it'll be a really nice shot.
Love it!
Nice image. Especially the colours are great. Maybe it would be even better if the angle was a bit lower and the floweres were a little blurred and/or a bit darked so that there is one main subject :)
amazing colours!
