OK, so maybe I lied a little about that last poppy upload being the final one.. Just got this back from the lab, and it kinda shows why I love cross-processed film (kodak elitechrome 100 in particular).. No digital tampering required, just beautifully "popping" colours (excuse the pun).

Sugar is one of the main exports of Mauritius about 120,000 tons a year in various forms. The mountain in the backdrop is Pieter Both the second highest mountain of Mauritius, at 820 metres tall. The mountain is shorter that Piton de la Petite Rivière Noire by eight meters. It is named after Pieter Both, the first Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies. It is located in the Moka Range. The notable feature of this mountain is the gigantic rock formation at the very top of it, which resembles a human head.
I’ve always been in love with sunflowers. One of my earliest memories is from pre-school where I would make the teachers pick me up so I could grab the seeds from the few sunflowers that grew near the playground. During high school we would eat sunflowers while I sat waiting as designated pinch runner on the baseball team. When I drove by the sunflower fields near Sacramento a few years ago I knew one day I’d have to get some photos of them! Unfortunately last summer was a cloudless summer and there really weren’t any opportunities to photograph the sunflower fields.
This year, despite the drought, has had a number of beautiful summer monsoonal sunsets. The weather forecast looked juicy and Cmdr Acosta even came out of hibernation to join Willie, Alan, Ropelato and I at the sunflower fields. Virga filled the sky as we drove and we prayed that the horizon wouldn’t be so thick that it blocked sunset light. Once at the fields we ran around like chickens with our heads cut off trying to find the best patch of sunflowers. They were slightly past their prime with shriveled up leaves and droopy heads but that didn’t stop us. When the sky lit up beautifully we were ready to capture it.
Running from composition to composition can sometimes get a bit hectic and in my rush I forgot to “focus stack”: focus on multiple areas both near and far to ensure the entire scene is in focus. Some of you may prefer this photo to be sharp front-to-back but I actually preferred the blurred background ... it locks the eye on the 2 sunflowers in the front. What do you prefer? Deep depth of field or the shallow one?

Another rolling field and big sky near Torreneiri. Not many poppies but plenty of these wild red flowers everywhere.
Created for TMI group's challenge, "In the Style of Monet, Gaugin or Rousseau".
A vast field of Purple Loose-Strife, gorgeous to look at but the bane of many a farmer's life. This highly aggressive and rapidly growing weed is spreading like wildfire on wetlands and fields, choking out everything else around it, as beautiful as it is.
All that aside I thought they made for beautiful imagery and made the most of it.

I've been off Flickr for a long time; longer than the last time. I will be slowly catching up with the photo streams of friends and contacts who I have had the pleasure of meeting online and offline. It got to the point where I had to make a choice between shooting, processing photos or doing Flickr. I've also been spending a lot more time looking at photo books and individual photography (and photographer) websites. My new tactic is to set a time limit on how long I'm on Flickr, that probably won't work but it's worth a shot (no pun intended).
That said, I think posting more frequently will help. So at least for the rest of the year I will try to post at least one photo daily. Time will tell if this succeeds.

Coastal cliffs around Corona Del Mar looking very Spring-like right now. Wildflowers popping up all over. Yellow, orange, red and purple. Some rain due to hit the area soon and the clouds are already rolling in.
Single raw HDR.
Kinda sound of music inspired.

I took this last week, on a very rare day when it wasn't raining. I've not really done many sunsets, so this was all trial and error. It's actually a HDR from 3 exposures, something I very rarely do either.
Only thing i'm not happy about is the banding around the sun, which is called the fried egg effect from some forums i've been reading. Not really sure how you avoid it, but this will have to do for the time being. Hope you like it.
