I love Kansas, I love sunflowers and at this time of the year the fields are full of sunflowers.

hi, great photo! The resolution is impeccable. I feel like I can reach out and touch it. Was this from a digital camera? donna rae #399Charlie Brown August 15, 2001
Thanks, Donna! This photo was taken with the Sony DSC F505V in macro-mode with automatic settings. #601Jeff Fulks August 15, 2001
Charlie, I can see why you used macro. But I am unsure of the setting for this. Do you get better shots or is it a presonal preferance. #605Charlie Brown August 22, 2001
Jeff, first I apologize that I didn't respond to your post earlier, but I've not received a notification that a second post had been made. This sunflower is fairly small ... maybe 6" in diameter. I needed macro mode in order to focus on the flower at a couple of inches of distance from the flower to get this composition. The settings were automatic exposure at an EV of -.3 (wanted to make sure that I didn't lose the detail in the bright yellow petals). There was sufficient light to get good depth of field on the flower, I hope this explains what you're asking and have a great day.
