Wildflowers Revisit

Gallery: LandscapePosted June 20, 2017156 views6 comments

Hello,
The first wildflowers photo was obviously not the best I could do. On that day it was windy so it was not possible to do multiple exposure and blending.

I went back to the location on another sunny and warm day. Did a few shots. And this time the photo is a blending of exposures which renders the details in the sky.

These flowers are seen everywhere, on roadside, on slopes, and in parks. This location just has more flowers than the other areas. Anyone knows what these flowers are?

Thanks

A great composure but a bit to bright for my tastes.

The flowers and the sunrays are really nice Bo. Location might help with the flower type Bo. Was this near your home in Ontario?

Thanks for your comments.

Ed, this is literally 10 minutes from my home in Ontario. The flowers were almost unknown to photographers until one of my friends spot them when driving by. Then the field became a hot spot.

I'm not a flower expert, but these may be Rocket Flowers (Hesperis matronalis)? You could cross post this in Flora; they would know.

I much prefer your background in this photo compared to the first view you posted, but I like the darker, richer, color of the flowers in the other. I'd play with that foreground a bit to richen that foreground and you've got a winner.

Much better for this one. The sky is much better balanced, those are some beautiful flowers. A sky with clouds to match the vibrant flowers might be a goal if they are so close to where you are.
