Discovery is not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.

Working the sunflower fields

We’re continuing our exploration of all things farming in North Dakota! Sunflowers are certainly the most spectacular with acres and acres of bright yellow fields. While the sunflowers follow the sun in the early part of their growth, their heads are now all pointed to the east.

Here’s a few of the shots:

We’ve been carrying a 6 foot ladder for this trip- helps give that extra few feet of height for different compositions, and getting above the crops. The handheld Quantum flash is popping in some extra light on our model since we were shooting at the midday sun. The flash has a 12×12 mini-softbox atachment to soften the overall look.
