Sunflower without bloom (6 Images)

in APPICS5 years ago

What a shame to visit the sunflower filed to find all the blooms is gone.

I lost my Flash. I could not find it. Okay good ! No flash no photography.
Today was a cloudy day and I was planning for sunflowers' field photography. Due to cloudy day I thought of having my flash to add some light might be a good way to capture the details of Sunflower structure.

Unfortunately i couldn't find the flash in all my camera bags and accessories drawers. I called my friend to get ready for a photo-walk. Well it is not a walk as we ride our bike to reach the filed.

Unfortunately we find the field without bloom and all of the sunflower has lost their petals.
I was disappointed and just clicked some photos here and there before getting close ups of Sunflower head.

Before getting dark I took some macro shots of the sunflower head. You can see the first couple of images just look like the honeycomb.

All pictures are taken with Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 lens which is really good at close distance shots.

As I mentioned earlier, I had no flash and no tripod was used to take shots. All shots are handled with relatively high iso.

There were only few sunflower with petals. This was one of them.

I used Lightroom for basic editing and further tweaks were done on Snapseed Mobile app.
