Under the Sun


My sisters sunflowers are starting to bloom like crazy, reaching for the sun.
They're gorgeous against the blue skies of summer. Posted by Picasa

Nice! I've done shots like this before, I like the contrast of the blue and yellow!

Your photos really nail color -- do you do much post-processing? What camera do you use? This is great, I love this shot.

Thanks!
I do love the contrasting colors!
The day was wonderfully sunny, a picture perfect day (pun intended-lol) I do some post-processing but I'm still learning to work in PS so I try to keep it at a minimum, a little lightning or darkening when needed, I may add some contrast, but I try to keep it simple. My camera is the Canon PowerShot A75 -basically a point and shoot, but I use the manual mode, adjusting the exposure & f-stop myself. I can't use filters for my camera so with this shot I used my sunglasses as a makeshift filter. For post-processing I lightened the shadows, added a tiny bit of contrast then sharpened it. I'm learning with photoshop that sometimes less is more. :-)
