Sunflowers - Weekend Photo Walk with my daughter

[CharlieJ]

My youngest daughter, Alyssa, and I went on a Weekend Photo Walk around southern Columbus County, NC this past weekend. Here are four shots from a patch of sunflowers we ran across. I hope to post more soon. ENJOY!

These are some great flower shots! You have some amazing shots on your flickr page as well. Keep up the amazing work.

I have to agree with Sheldonc. That last shot is great.

Charlie, these are beautiful...and some of my favorite flowers. I think it's amazing how you got the bugs on them too...like they were posed there. The colors are gorgeous...all in all a lovely series of shots. Sunflowers always bring a smile to my face, so thank you.

Beautiful shots... I really like the first one. Nice captures!

[CharlieJ]

WOW! Thanks for the wonderful compliments folks. You're making me blush!

I love sunflowers, too. They are probably my favorite flower to photograph. They have so much intricate detail... and the vivid colors are amazing.

BTW, I have been shooting exclusively with the Canon for approx. a month now. These are my first really good (IMO) macro flower shots taken with the Canon.

All 4 of them are beautiful. Nice compositions in all and very nice perspective on the last one. And how did you get the yellow bettle on the yellow flower - very cool!

My daughter just saw the lady bug and pointed her out to me. She was just tooling around the petals when I took the photo. Very cool is right.

Here are four more from the same day.
