This intensively red poppy has over the years been photographed from many angles. When it start to bloom in late May until loosing flowers a fortnight later I am out on a daily basis – and nightly in the nordic summer light – happily taking pictures. I doubt though that is the reason the neighbors now move.

Thank you for kind remarks!
When on tour I can not refrain myself, poppies are everywhere. The first photo is on midsummer eve, rather late, the camera time in EXIF is wrong. Soft, magic light.
The pylon on the second reminded me of a prop Bjørn R. sometimes frames. I did not tilt the world though, The poppies grow on a wall hiding unsightly activities.

Eric, the poppies look really tempting. I would photograph them all day long...
Have you over-saturated them a tad?

Jakov,


+17 Vibrance. But often I decrease red saturation in the Leica M files. Increases perceived sharpness to my eyes.
The Hasselblad CVF 50c files are very good color-wise to start out with and in addition can take a lot of shadow lifting.

I love red, pylons, and poppies, in that order :D

So lots of stuff to like here.

The last one, with poppies growing along a field, does show an abrupt transition in light quality probably caused by a hard grad filter?

Bjørn,


A heavy handed use of the graduated filter in LR6, I am afraid. Thanks for the feedback.

There is just something about a poppy which is special. I have red, orange and yellow in my yard. The poppy is the California's state flower.  In Spring they become a carpet across the foothills.

Gary!
The red, orange and yellow yard must be beautiful. You have pictures, have you? Not to mention carpeded foothills.  /Eric

It is worth mentioning that the California Poppy Eschscholzia californica isn't a true poppy at all, although it does belong to the Poppy family.
