Location
Two years ago I planted sunflowers in my garden due to a little obsession with a game called Plants vs Zombies. This was the tallest sunflowers of the bunch.Time
This photo was taken in the middle of August around 5:00pm on a clear day.Lighting
I simply allowed the sun to do it's job.Equipment
Strangely enough, this was shot on my Droid Maxx 2.Inspiration
I love photographing flowers and these were a special project this season. I was determined to grow sunflowers this year and was so pleased at how beautiful they were.Editing
No, this photo was not post-processed at all.In my camera bag
I always carry my Canon Rebel XSI, the standard 18-24mm lens, a zoom lens that maxes at 700mm, two different flash attachments, and my light meter.Feedback
I find that composition is so important when photographing flowers. They are such an overly-photographed subject, I feel the best way to mix it up and keep it interesting with flowers is by exploring different compositions and playing with the rule of thirds.
