sunrise Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Some of you may think,this Photo does`nt belong to TE.Please have a look at my workshop photo,it will explain.
Photo is taken at a "Blumen selber schneiden" area,which means:cut the flowers yourself.
There are allways big signs you can see from the road,a box for the money,some knifes and no stuff.
At most signs is written:Be honest,only paid flowers make happy.
Here a sunflower is 60 Euro cent.
Do you have places like this in your country!
The background is no paper or something else,it`s the wonderful blue sky we have in Germany.Ok,I used a polarizer.,but did not much postprocessing.Only autocontrast and sharpened,because it was windy.

Hi Leo,
tight framing. The colour blue is fantastic.
We have places where you can pick your flowers from a sort of box on the side of the road and throw some money in, but I never heard of field where you can actualy cut them.
regards, Gerrit

ben4321 (9807) 2006-07-17 7:48

Hi Andreas,
I've seen lots of photos of sunflowers and blue sky, and they can get a little boring. Yours on the other hand is fantastic. Never mind the technical excellence of the shot (nice and sharp, great colours etc), what makes this stand head and shoulders above the rest is your unusual and imaginative composition.
Excellent work.
Ben

falves (1403) 2006-07-17 8:20

Hi Leo,
Great natural composition. This is not a typical flower photo. It got something special. The colors contrast is outstanding as well as the sharpness. But what really makes the difference is the way you framed the Sunflower. It's spectacular....
Very well done
Fred

sebinho342 (18740) 2006-07-17 9:06

Hi andreas, this is an excellent picture, contrasts are so high and blue is so deeeep !! Minimalistic composition that i love, the yellow marry so well with the blue.
A great one ! :))

Floydian (30970) 2006-07-17 9:24

Hi Andreas,
The idea i have seen before, but also this one is very nice. That deep blue stands in perfect contrast to the yellow. Detail is high on the sunflower with good saturation.
A very good one..!
Regards, Henk

Dari (24) 2006-07-17 9:33

Great, Leo! So i see Germany is great...(but hehe about sky: i believe it is impressive, but such sky without polariser do not exists!) Even pure idea is great here...but quality, sharpness and woooow colours are.... you understand :)

Wooooh this is a really great idea, very good done.A very clear image with a great contrast.

baba_flies (8025) 2006-07-17 10:23

What a different shot and such a good idea above all. It never crosses my mind, these things. Super nice, wonderful the yellow against the dark blue sky. Same in Switzerland, the Blumen selber schneiden thing ... you can also by organic veggies/fruit like this. Super idea.

Dragonheart (8393) 2006-07-17 10:27

Hello Andreas,
Outstanding idea and I love how you have placed the sunflower in the frame against the deep blue background of sky. Contrasting colours. Sunflower is very sharp and crisp.
Well done!

The frame cutting the flower is original, everybody had not made it like this.
Excellent and favorite shot!

hi leo, echt klasse, erdbeeren selber pflücken kenne ich ja,
aber blumen selber schneiden ist mir neu, muss ich mal die
augen aufhalten, ob es ähnliches auch hier gibt.
jedenfalls, der titel und das photo sind super und die informationen auch.
eine perfekte komposition mit der halben gelb-strahlenden sonnenblume und dem tiefblauen himmel.
geniale arbeit & viele grüße, thorsten.

feather (49868) 2006-07-18 8:38

The polarised sky makes a stunning background for the "rising sun", and the detail you captured in the sunflower is amazing.
We have "pick your own" places for summer fruits but I can't recall seeing one for flowers.

fayeulle (26543) 2006-07-18 15:49

Hi Leo
I like very much this very graphic and mininimalist shot. In France it's the same ! You can cut yourself some flowers and more often some fruit like cherry, strawnerry and others.
Very good shoot
Cheers

Hallo Leo,
fantastic image! vivid colours, sharpness and contrast. I have heard about "Blumen selber schneiden" areas in Germany and always found this idea great.
Definietly one of the most optimistic images (and the note!) I have seen for a long time, made my day!
Have a good weekend, Hanna

lucinka (9902) 2006-08-02 8:03

Andreas, I was quite busy recently therefore I've missed this photo. What strikes me about it is its simplicity, beautiful rich colors and your brave idea to crop the sunflower in half and keep the rest for the lovely blue sky. Great shot! Lucie

Jeppe (18623) 2006-08-08 15:08

Hi Andreas
The rising sun(flower) - a very excellent and simple composition - My compliment - surely one for the theme.

tinamunk3 (6382) 2006-08-14 14:04

Hi Andreas,

WHAT A DEEP BLUE SKY!!!!!!!! Wow, and nothing would look more beautiful on it than the rich yellow SUNFLOWER. So well cropped.

In the countryside of Denmark it is normal to see a small table with potatoes, peas, strawberry, eggs etc and a box with money. I guess most people are honest enough - otherwise this kind of business wouldn't exist anymore, would it :O)

:) Tina

bibiweb (8) 2006-08-21 3:24

Hello Andreas,
Thanks to a comment from Jean-Pierre (fayeulle) I discovered this fabulous shot of your sunflower. I love your framing and the title is well chosen. A simplistic but excellent photo.
Have a nice day.

Hallo Andreas,

was für eine wunderbare Aufnahme.
Dies ist wirklich eine Klasse für sich.
Die Farben sind so klasse, die Komposition verdammt gut.
Hier in Hamburg kostet die Sonnenblume auch 60 Cent :-)

Alles Gute
Atha

cherryripe (19031) 2006-08-22 6:41

Hi Leo
You posted this while I was on holidays so didn't see it. Your framing is so original and the colours and details so stunning. I believe the sky can be like that with the help of a polarizer as there are some days when it's so pure it's real. Well seen.
Regards
Nikki

AandK (1806) 2006-08-26 16:02

Hi Andreas,
just found this picture of yours and loved it! Quatsch, warum denn Englisch? Kannst du mir vielleicht mein ein wenig über deinen Polarizer sagen? Der hat ja hier wirklich beeindruckende Arbeit geleistet! Sollte man sich einen zulegen? Was kann der alles?
Schonmal danke im vorraus! Sehr sehr kreatives Foto!

jafadabret (39825) 2006-09-09 1:51

Leo, une photo très simple mais qui tire sa force de la composition qui traite ce tournesol comme un soleil levant. Les couleurs claquent au maximum. Une réussite !

kLe (2039) 2006-09-18 12:39

Nein. Diese Plätze wo man selber Blumen pflücken darf, die gibt es nicht in Spanien. Aber ich kenne sie aus der Schweiz. Dort habe ich nicht nur Blumen gekauft sondern auch Honig und Kürbisse.
Über das Foto, wie viele schon geschrieben haben, gefallen mir die schöne Farben und der origenelle PoV.
Es ist wahr dass dieses Foto würde besser in TrekLens angehören, aber bei etwas so schönes darf man Nachsicht haben.

superpau (1460) 2006-09-23 22:31

Hallo Andreas, simple beautiful.
I just came back from Europe, and I saw these "cut your own flowers" place between Basel, and Colmar (CH and Frnce).
In Argentina you cannot trust in people! Most probably that people would take the flowers without paying for it. We are not well educated :D
So, anyway, love sunflowers. Beautiful composition.
Gongratulations, noch einmal!
Saludos, Paula.

no, leo - unfortunately we don't have places like this in our country ... and maybe for good reasons :( , but i truly wish we had something like this, too ... maybe one day?

and you're right, a beautiful flower like this one can start a beautiful day like sunrise does.

thank you and have a perfect weekend,
dora

Einfach aber brilliant!! Spitzen Farbkontrast. Es zeigt sehr gut, dass nicht viel im Bild zu sehen sein muss, um es ein gutes Foto schaffen.

Excelente contraste de cores opostas.
magnífica ideia pese embora o WS explique.

The simplicity here is what I like the most! With only half a flower you've done such a wonderful picture! Colors and sharpness just perfect!

Esteve (0) 2007-11-06 10:55

This is a great photo! This blue is incredibly beautiful and I like your composition.
Thanks for the comment. We do not have places like that.

meb (744) 2007-12-06 2:36

Hi Andreas,
I've seen this just today, but it is never too late to appreciate a good work! A part from the colors, which immediately attract the eye, I like the composition: you resisted to the temptation of taking the whole flower...
Congrats
Marica

maria (2714) 2008-06-01 10:06

Hi Leo,
I've seen so many 'not-so-interesting' blue sky and sunflowers pictures that this one comes to a surprise to me.
Fantastic cropping that gives the composition a high degree of effectiveness.
Regards,
Maria

Kris_Luxenhofer (752) 2008-07-02 13:42

Hallo Leo!
Naja was soll ich da noch sagen? Einfach nur genial! Der schöne Farbverlauf von Hell- nach Dunkelblau ist sehr schön und dann noch diese wunderschöne knallgelbe Sonnenblume.
Unglaublich, wie du das hingebracht hast!
Viele Grüße,
Kris

Hello Andreas,
first of all, thanks a lot for visiting my post. I really appreciate it. It is an honour of me to have you giving comments and critiques as I salute you great contribution of almost 30K points. We learnt from great shots like yours, as Im quite new and very novice indeed.
Just like this photo, it manifest skills, creative eyes, and great care in producing an image.
Thanks a lot for sharing this beautiful composition, great clarity image and well thought execution.

regards,
Foozi.

MarianneS (14304) 2008-08-11 14:48

Hi Leo,
Sunflowers are among my favourite flowers. They are one symbol of life and happiness, as far as I am concerned.
I like your composition, so simple and so efficient. The harmony between blue and yellow is divine.
I don't know if such a place exists in Belgium (if so, I would like to know where). I understand your note, this photo belongs to TE (and not only to TN or TL) - I had the same wondering about raspberries a few posts ago.
It will soon reach 300 points, waow :-)))
It deserves them.
Regards,
Marianne

Hi Andreas
Great photography here, no need to tell you you are a fantastic photographer. Creative shot, I like the way you have sunflower cut in half, and really looks like a sun bearing from the incredible blue sky you have presented. Worthy to belong on TE, God knows I have seen shots on TE that should be thrown onto TL etc!!
Enjoy your winter months ;-)
Regards
Jim

Andreas, the "pay what you want" flower places are a great idea! And the shot, clearly, is amazing. I love the saturated colours and combination of yellow and deep blue. Very nice one, regards, Pawel
