Poppies at Sunset

Poppies are one of Britain’s most iconic flowers. I’ve been trying to develop my landscape and wildflower photography skills, at times its been an exercise in frustration.

One evening I visited a poppy field near my village. Right at the end of twilight after a cloudy sunset the sky suddenly flooded for a brief few moments in vivid pinks and purples. The vivid colours were so fleeting I only managed to grab three or four shots before the sky faded into twilight .
