    Default A Dordogne View

    In the Dordogne area of France I was lucky to see many sunflower fields. The problem one has in shooting them is trying to put them with something interesting. I passed up many fields due to nothing else with them or they were facing the wrong way.(they have a tendancy to face the sun) I admit the lighting could be a bit more dramatic but on a trip like this I couldn't plan where or when was the best time to be at a certain place since I rarely went back a second time.

    Dave - there's a lot to like here - the sunflowers mostly facing the camera, the farm buildings and then the village slightly further back and on the cliffs, the castle. Interesting sky too. I might prefer a little more room on top if you have it, but I like it as presented too.


    TFS,
    Rachel

    Hey Dave,
    Always tough with fields! You did very well with the sunflowers and like Rachel, I may want just a bit more sky as it feels a bit tight on the castle. You know me...not much! Very well composed overall!

    Lovely Beynac.
    Nice exposure, I would crop right above the large FG flower and add sky at the top also.

    I agree Dave, the sky is interesting so a bit more of it if you have it would be good.
