Poppies Against The Sky
I am very conscious of the fact that flickr has been pretty well saturated with poppy images this year, so I have made an attempt to create some images that offer slightly more alternative views of these incredible flowers. As you can probably tell, I was lying on my back to frame this one with the wide end of my 11-18mm. Following my efforts, I drove home, got in the door and was questioned by my wife as to why I had grass stains on my back! She has my sympathies - it takes a bit of extra special patience and understanding to be wed to a photographer, but I can assure that although I often contort myself into different positions using knees, hands and feet, it's only so that I can achieve a more interesting composition!
