At Day's End
At Day’s End
As the sun goes down over the front range mountains of Denver, Colorado, the Sunflowers turn, in anticipation of the sun coming back up in the morning. Photographed in a field where all you can see for miles and miles is Sunflowers….billions of Sunflowers. An entire sea of yellow and gold….caught in my lens for a fleeting instant, where the whole world was at peace….

Wow this is amazing John. The colors and the flowers just glow; pure magic. Did you use a ND filter as well as the multiple exposures? I’m trying to work out what I want to buy so I can start working on landscapes; if you can do this with the HDR and no filter maybe I don’t need to buy much! (although my 18-55mm lens is crap, but that’s another post all together. :P)

Oh wait, duh. Sorry; just noticed that you said what you used. It must be past my bedtime. :P

I even enjoyed this one better than the sunrise – just for the fact that it looks as if the sunflowers are reaching up for those last few warming rays before their nightly slumber.

Bonnie Taylor ..., 12 days ago
Heaven on earth! Did you know that the sunflower is the symbol of the person whose gaze is always directed at the Son of God, whose focus is ever adjusting and readjusting to His presence, His call? That’s what this calls to mind for me personally, and I thank you for it. What a once in a lifetime shot! I’d love to play with my camera in that field for a while, but I doubt I doubt I could ever get anything this amazing!
