I really enjoy sunflowers at sunset. They offer up some amazing opportunities to experiment with colorful lighting, deep shadows, textures and repeating (but also uniquely different) shapes. Here are some of my favorites images from this year’s short but colorful sunflower season!
Beautiful red glow on the horizon!
Surprising pink sunset clouds over over the top of a dark storm cloud.
Pink turns to red!
Smoky skies (from the wildfires in Canada) create purple and pink hues and a diffused sun high in the sky, framed under a ceiling of passing rain clouds.
Another smoky sky creates a reddish pink ball before the sun sets.
Sun streaks shoot out of rim-lit cloud while warmly illuminating the yellow flower petals.
