Poppy Explosion

Uploaded: September 13, 2007

Description

Whilst on my way to photograph a wedding at St Monan's church near Pittenweem I quite literally screeched to a halt and stared in disbelief at the best display of poppies. This astounding display interspersed with white daisies was attached to a farm at Kilconquhar. Wedding imminent I vowed to return and the next day with the kind permission of the farmer I spent almost 5 hours photographing this scene.

Location: Kilconquhar, Pittenweem, Fife, Scotland. Pentax67II, 45mm lens, 0.3ND grad, F22 at 1/8 sec, Fuji Astia
