Of Daisies and Sky... Photo

Photographer’s Note

In Karlstad, Sweden, I experimented with my 12-24 sigma lens. This is one thing I did...put my camera on the ground looking up the sky. It was a hit and miss as I am not looking at the LCD.

I like the result here.

I am guessing at the State. I will correct it as soon as someone gives me the correct location.

I will soon be active again.

Hi Manuel. I like this uncommon POV, from under the flowers, with those dramatic colors in the sky. Nice shot.

Something very different from you Manny. This one works really quite well and I think your composition is really quite excellent, especially considering that you weren't looking through the viewfinder. I really quite like the diagonal created by the flowers. Looks like the scene had more range than your sensor, as the one flower is blown out and the sky is a little too dark, but overall this one is really pleasing.

Hi Manny,

Superb. You have given me an idea for my 12-24. I like the muted colour and the dark forboding sky.

Wow! Very interesting dramatic picture! The colors are really great. I'm really curious to know what time of the day it was!

AmiBe (6042) 2005-09-16 10:36

Hi Manuel,
excellent and original !
The POV is exceptional, were you transformed into insect to take this shot ? ;-)
I like the color tones, too... A little bit morbid...
Well done !

Hi Manuel,
Beautiful cold tonal range in this photo.
I find it quite suitable for a post from Sweden.
Interesting experiment,
Robi

eleparc (24059) 2005-09-16 17:21

This one turned out really nice, Manny. Excellent and rare upward perspective on the daisies in which you got a good effect and mood with the special lighting. Very good, I like it quite a bit.

Hi Manuel,
A different picture that you present us. So simple and so beautiful. A great moment and a artwork with the Daisies looking and talking with the sky.

Fine colors and atmosphere in a excelent work very well seen and composed. Best to you.
