Yesterday evening Rhiannon and I took a chance on a possible poppy location near Firle, along the A27. We didn’t have a great deal of time and opted to set out at 5pm since there were some nice high clouds adding some interest to the blue sky.

We followed the lane that I’d already checked out on Google Maps and were soon rewarded with a sight of red flowers just off to our right. We parked up and set about taking some photographs. The skies were great but the angle and height of the sun wasn’t perfect for the shots we were after. We intend to return nearer to 7-8pm one evening this week to capture the scene with a lower more golden light from the setting sun. I’ve also pecked the location as possibly being suitable for a sunrise shoot as well

Despite the sun’s position some angles were still workable and the scenery was fantastic. After much searching I was just excited to have found my first field of poppies!
