Taken on a walk earlier this week. I came across this field of poppies on the hilltop at the head of a valley. The colours were vibrant in the soft bright light and I rather liked the sky.
It needs viewing on black methinks!
Hope you are all having a good week.

Playing around with bright field setup.
Trying out some different color combos..
One sb 600 aimed at white card surrounded by black. White just fills camera viewfinder. Sb fired via Nikon CLS.
Next time I will try to be a little more creative.

it doesn't look like they are but they were running across the field, far away... so not the best quality image but I still like it.

Bought that giant mount just to slap on this tiny astrophotography setup! Makes sense, right?
Just got the adapter in the mail from Precise Parts (preciseparts.com/ppmain/home.html). The adapter is for mounting a Canon EF 200mm f/2.8L II lens to my CCD, which I believe has m42 threads. This little adapter was about $200! I think I need to get into the business of machining parts...
Thanks to Rob (pfile) for helping me out with this.
Santon (Manx: Stondane), historically Santan, is one of the seventeen historic parishes of the Isle of Man. It is located in the south-east of the island (part of the traditional South Side division) in the sheading of Middle. Settlements in the parish include Newtown.
It has an area of approximately 21 km2 and is the island's smallest parish. The parish is now popularly known as Santon instead of the older Santan. To the north of the parish is Newtown and the recently built estate of Mount Murray where the northern border along the Crogga River Glen is to be found. The western boundary is slightly east of Ballalonna Glen and the modern Fairy Bridge. The coastal extremities stretch from the mouth of the Crogga River at Port Soderick over Santon Head, Port Grenaugh and Port Soldrick to the mouth of the Santon Burn which rarely encroaches on Santon territory but forms the northwestern (inland) boundary for much of its course.
While the parish lacks size and good soil, it does have some high cliffs, ancient monuments, ruins, and various other scenery.

A gentle breeze, journeyed haphazardly across the expanse of curved fresh barley. I effortlessly bobbed in the maize sea, the warm air, sweet with the cereal's perfume. Soft dry soil, stuck to my bare feet like talcum powder. I was warm and cool intermittently, for the time I sat there: The breeze, rushed through the grasses stroking me with its coolness...then seemed to courteously fade as the clouds opened and the sun warmed me again.

a wider angle covering more of the valley. HDR from one exposure and touched up to my limited ability in PS.
maybe my best one to date ;-D
Why is it when they're in a large field like this they cause you stop the vehicle, get out and shoot photographs, but when they are in patches on a lawn you just want to uproot them? :-)
