Sunflowers at Sunset
Daily Photo – Sunflowers at Sunset
This photo was much harder to take than it might seem!
First of all, these sunflowers are tall – and I mean tall! They must be between 6 and 7 feet in the air. I was on the ground with them, so, of course, I was looking UP at them. No one wants to see a shot like that…
So, I put the camera on the tripod, set the timer to 5 seconds, extended the legs, set the manual settings correctly, then jacked the whole thing in the air, holding it rock steady while it took the exposure. Getting a steady horizon while holding the camera 12 feet in the air is not easy… and after a number of takes, my shoulders were just about spent for the rest of the night.
