photog in the flowers

The reflection is easily my favorite part of the photo, really really cool.

Without a doubt! The reflection is great! I really like that!

photog in the flowers by Sara Heinrichs (awfulsara).

Coulda sworn I had already uploaded this one... but couldn't find it, except in a diptych.

Local photog and pilot Dean Cully in a springtime field of buttercups.

I would die to be in a place like this, awfulsara.
Marvelous colors, perfect dof and the most poetic photo on the subject.

How did he decide which flowers to shoot? And how did you get those flowers in the foreground to stand up so perfectly for you?
This composition is amazing. The reflection in the lens is stunning, the shallow depth of field makes the flowers seem to stretch into infinity - with a subtle hint of horizon just beyond. Absolutely stunning.

Sara Heinrichs (awfulsara) says:

:) This is one of my faves too.

Deciding what flowers to shoot was rather fun. So many options. I actually haven't seen any of his flower shots from that day, but this is what I shot (flower-wise).

I wasn't so very impressed with my results. One of these days I'll scan some of the more promising negs and try to make a good print. Note the yellow cast on my hands, especially... all that yellow reflected light.

Man what I would do for a Pentax 67... I mean except for paying for one.
Posted 55 months ago. ( permalink )

Sara Heinrichs (awfulsara) says:

It was pretty hazy that day, Dean, weird light. The flowers were SO incredibly bright and reflective (waxy) that good exposures were difficult.

Sadly, no more green and flowers for us for awhile. :| Phooey.

Really great picture anyway and I love his hat.

monkeyking / Peter says:

I had to think about whether to add this to my faves ..... for about 0.0001 sec!

I'm not a skillful enough writer to describe how amazing this is, so I'll just say "amazing".

Vision Aerie says:

Used Pentax 67 cameras and lenses are reletively inexpensive these days in the age of digital, and the optics are excellent. I find the combination of very big camera and really small airplane to be a suitable match.

Amaazing shot :D

maessive says:

I loved that camera so much I bought a Mamiya 645 :) (couldn't afford the 67). Ended up with a 6x6 rollei TLR (that i keep forever)

Besides the camera, it is a very nice "photograph of photography" that is technically very well executed and wraps up the theme quite elegantly.

Great Shot! I have a Pentax 6X7...WHOOPEEEEE!

Kaddy says:

Excellent job sara, what makes this extra special (for me) is the reflection of the flowers in the lens. It works really well as a metaphor for the photo.

Yes, this picture is perfect. Absolutely. Very beautiful.

Great! I like the reflection of the flowers on the filter :)
I don't know why, I can see a halo around Dean when I look at it from a distance.

Awesome shot! I love the depth of field, and the color. The setting is just too beautiful, it makes me wish I were in the place of the photog. Spectacular capture!
Posted 55 months ago. ( permalink )

carljohnson says:

Sara, I really hadn't paid enough attention to this until I saw it front and center at Utata -- then I realized what an amazing photo this is. God, what I'd give to shoot something that crisp just once (though I suspect part of the answer is to "give" the money that a better lens costs :))
Posted 55 months ago. ( permalink )

Sara Heinrichs (awfulsara) says:

o! I hadn't seen that yet, carl!

Yessss I have learned the difference L glass can make. Its clarity, when used properly, is unparalleled. So pleased ya like it.

This really is one of my personal top 10 favorites, for lots of reasons. Does me good to see other photogs relate to it as well!
