I spent the past two weekends in the local sunflower fields. Two hot as balls days and one 4:30 am wake up to out there.

Didn't really worry about the flowers, wanted the birds...

wow! spectacular shots

 

very nice!

 

Dude, congrats-those are outstanding.

 

NICE!!

have you always had a D3s??

 

Thank You

Thanks, about two months after released.

 

Realy cool shots!

 

Is this the place in Poolesville?

 

Yes..., Unfortunately for pretty blooms, this year is pretty much done. If you see some of my flowers have pretty blooms, and then some have ugly blooms. That is just a difference of one week, two weeks ago.


I do have access to some more sunflowers this year, one of them is almost 8 feet tall in my front yard.

 

+1

What were these taken with!? (Lens too?)

 

Really nice, Jeff!

It's funny, when I've been out there in the past, I've been so focused on the flowers that I didn't didn't really even notice the birds. Awesome.

 

Thank you D3s 500mm F/4 was my tools

Thanks.., This year I was not focused on flowers.

 

great shots Jup!

 

Damn. Maybe next year. It was too hot this time around. We chose to go to the lake instead

 

nice Jeff! I might have to take the trip down to CT to that farm you told me about again this year, if I havent missed it yet!

 

The bokeh is strong with this batch of foto.

Nice work!
