A FIELD OF COLOR

I was fortunate to capture this field of color on a recent visit to the Sherman Library and Gardens in Newport Beach, California.

In order to produce the image I was visualizing, I needed to consider two things. 

  • I wanted to capture this small field from a low perspective, so I had to get down to ground level or just above.
  • I wanted the field to blur in order to give the impression that it continued indefinitely, so I used a low aperture (4.5).
Shooting flowers provides an enormous opportunity for new ideas and experiments.
