Flower Field Impressions

This is a field of wildflowers growing in an otherwise vacant lot, across from a large shopping mall in Santee, California. I wanted to create an impressionistic look for this, so I used a polarizer and a neutral density filter (so that I could do a longer exposure) and panned the camera across the field during the 1/3 second exposure. I used the same technique in a picture from the Carlsbad flower fields two years ago. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/3424614063/
