Last night I made my second trip out in search of some poppies. After seeing some interesting shots from a field near Falmer I decided to give it a try, despite some rather bland blue skies. Don't get me wrong, sunny weather is great, it's just that I prefer some detail in my skies. In the end the trip was quite successful and I got a few shots I was quite pleased with. It's certainly a location I'd like to return to again given a chance, although I'm not sure when my next oppotunity will be as I'm working as official photographer at Biggin this weekend. I may try for a dawn shoot if the forecast looks promising.

Below are a couple of the photographs I've processed so far. The first is from my first trip to the field near Firle Beacon and the second is from last night near Falmer.

Path to Poppies

Falmer Poppy Field

One of my objectives over the next few weeks is to capture some photographs of the magnificent yellow fields of oilseed rape that spring up around Sussex at this time of year. I did a brief reccy of the fields along the A27 on Monday and it seems there's not as much around as I remember from last year. I did spot some fields that are beginning to flower so I'll try for a trip soon to try to find some interesting locations.
