Description

A swaying field of yellow under stormy skies at Chesterton windmill in Warwickshire. I've been wanting to do a shot like this for a while now, with the foreground a sea of movement... I also shot images during lulls in the wind and with higher iso, so I have the same foreground a lot more stationary too but personally I preferred the movement. Interested to hear opinions on that, reckon it works? When I arrived at the location, I was almost shaking with excitement as the rain was just beginning to give way for some pretty special light. I ended up getting gradually soaked though and had to work really hard to keep my kit dry and lens free of spots of rain, but it was fun running around the field looking for angles as the light continued to change. I missed a brief rainbow unfortunately, it crept up behind me and by the time I got to a place with a decent foreground it had gone again. Ah well, another time maybe! Blend of 2 exposures.

Nicely done! Superb image, I love the dark skies contrasting with the brightness of the flowers.

I think I do like the movement in the foreground...gives life to your already fine photo. Went and scanned through your website...also excellent. You mention leaving a note for you in your Guest Book, but I couldn't find it:)

Wonderful shot! I like your take on the foreground movement. You took a different approach, and made it your own. Great work!

Sky..Brilliant, and the building really stands out. However, undecided on the movement, as, to me, it looks like you have added the flowers on top of the building image and the movement makes them look out of scale. But that's me being hyper critical, and not actually tried a shot like this myself, who am I to talk. Great work though.
