Featured Photograph: Sunflower on a Sunny Day (Enlarge)

Nothing says summer like a bright yellow, anything but subtle, sunflower. How could they not attract your attention? They grow quickly defy gravity with a thin stalk holding up a large flower, not to mention the already mentioned colour.

Fresh off the plane for my first summer in Eastern Ontario in nine years, I, like numerous honeybees, was drawn to this particular flower. I wanted to capture the size and dominance of the flower, but leave a little of the environment in the frame too. I used some borrowed closeup filters to get in extremely close to the flower, and my 24mm lens to help keep some degree of recognizable shape and form to the background. A simple photo of a simple subject.

The composition of this photo lends itself favourably to being used as a postcard or a greeting card. Custom wording and sizing options are available. Please contact me for more information and pricing.
