Poppies on the Romanstische Strasse

I shot this about 3 years ago while cycling in Germany. A much under-rated camera, Olympus E3 with 12-60 lens. This is possibly the best zoom lens ever made (yet!)

That's a delightful picture, Garry. The poppies fairly jump right out of the image!

What a wonderful mixture of textures. Very well observed.

Thanks men. I love poppies in a field of wheat. A great subject

 

[Thomas brookes]

Agreed. The textures are lovely Garry... What a great shot!

Cycling out in Germany?!? On the romantic street?!? Fair play Garry. Lol
This is a very well composed frame. I really like it.
I haven't had the chance to play with a 12-60 mm yet. But the reviews on it are great!
And another lens in my wish list

 

[Garry Lee]

The 12-60 is a fantastic lens. It's sharper than the Canon 24-105L. I'm mainly a Canon man now.

I like the way the red poppies pop on the textured grass backdrop - very nice

Looks like it was a nice overcast day for lighting?

 

[Garry Lee]

Correct Chris. I love shooting poppies in wheat. Have done it numerous times.
