Poppies

Basia McAuley, 10 months ago

Ohh, wow!! This is a beautiful shot.. straight into my favourites :o)

Shay Larkin, 10 months ago

Cheers Basiamc, the field in this photo is now an housing estate, this used to be one of our playing fields as a kid at the end of our garden. The photo has become a memory of childhood and fun days (unintentionally).

Sharon Bishop, 10 months ago

So much atmosphere in this shot – well done.

Shay Larkin, 10 months ago

Thanks Bishop, this photo is pre-digital when filters were “de rigeur”, a centre spot and warm-up filter were used I think!

Jordan Duff, 10 months ago

Great use of filters they really enhance this shot, giving it a real emotional pull as well as a certain timelessness. Nice work.

Shay Larkin, 10 months ago

Thanks Jordan, I hadn’t seen the timelessness of the picture, robably to wrapped up in my own sentiment!

Shay Larkin, 10 months ago

robably with a “P” that is!

Handling and composition brilliant, the feeling is – melting down – definitely inspired by impressionists or surrealists, must add to favourites…. real craftsman… love you work….

chriso, 10 months ago

Love the colour and the effect. Was this added later?

Shay Larkin, 10 months ago

Wow! Louise, TheGratefulDad, Booboo, Lance, Artsy3, Deerfield, Fracturedfotos, SylviaHardy and Jacek, I’m struggling to find another way to say thanks to each of you for such wonderful comments, but “Thanks” is all I can come up with.
Booboo, It’s still worth lugging the gear around but I have to admit that it recent times I’m more prone to post processing but you can’t beat seeing it in the viewfinder before pressing the shutter!
Jacek, I don’t know about “Craftsman” !!

Jenny Davis, 10 months ago

beautiful!

Shay Larkin, 10 months ago

Hello Chriso, sorry I just missed your comment, I used filters on the lens, a centre spot and a warm up filter – Cokin P range – Warm up P037 or P027 Centre Spot P071, shot on Fuji Velvia (I always shoot 3 frames when using slide (dia) – meter reading, 0.5 stop under and 0.5 stop over exposure to achieve a correct exposure , medium telephoto around 70mm and most importantly a “Soft Irish day” for lighting and tripod.

Elaine van Dyk, 10 months ago
