Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken at sunflower farm in Newbury. It was a gorgeous fall day and absolutely picture perfect. I had gone to the farm to check on the flowers few times before this was taken...the third time was a charm! they were in full bloom and I loved every minute of itTime
Photo was taken in late afternoonLighting
I love taking landscapes during the day as you can see more detail and colors.. and the clouds are usually much better for photos...while golden hour is great and provides good lighting for portraits ..sometimes day shots are my favoriteEquipment

I love sunflowers and they always remind me of summer days back home. It is such a beautiful site to see a field of sunflowers. You can't help but smile.Editing
I have not done any post processing. I didn't think it was necessary. Nature is beautiful and doesn't need adjustmentsIn my camera bag
I travel very light. In my bag you will find my kit lens, as well as 75-300 lens and 1.8-50, and a few filters. I carry a flash but don't use it often. I also carry a tripod that I don't use much as I like to move around a lot and just end up lugging it around. I always have props in case of photo shoot opportunity :)Feedback
Timing Is best..make sure you check that the sunflowers r in bloom before going..I took 3 trips before they were just right . I love day time photos with blue skies and nice clouds. It gives a great contrast and I just love the sunflowers. They are so beautiful
