Van Gogh Sunflower Festival ~ Hood River, Oregon D70 Photo Gallery by Kimberly at pbase.com

Van Gogh Sunflower Festival ~ Hood River, Oregon D70

This afternoon we took a quick trip to Hood River, Oregon to visit Rasmussen Farms, celebrating 20 different kinds of sunflowers. Almost like the south of France (Oregon Style!) It was the perfect opportunity to take photos and enjoy the vibrant colors of summer

Many of the flowers in these photos were backlit by the sun, thus the very bright colors.

I am not a professional photographer but I had to comment and say these wonderful photographs brightened my day and made me genuinely happy. Here in Alaska, summer comes late and is much valued and these shots remind me of those lovely 6 weeks up here. :-D

Terrific gallery, Kimberly! I liked your vacation photos, but it seems that you excel on other subjects not less than that!

Wow, how did I miss that festival? When was it? I'm from Portland. Absolutely wonderful shots. Can't do that with my Coolpix 4500. ~Midnight~

Kimberly, Outstanding colors and compositions! If these images were mine, I would have to fill a room with large prints! Nikon should be using these for D70 ads! God Bless, Greg

Mike		08-Sep-2004 01:06
You have a great gallery Kimberly! The Nikon D70 is a great camera isn't it. I also have one and love it. Your composition is great along with the colors. You definitely have an artistic eye. Good work! :-)

Jeanb, I used a circular polarizer. It works great in these conditions :)

How on earth have you managed to capture the colour without blowing out the background? Verry nice.

Tracy Ferrero		02-Sep-2004 16:35
Strong vibrant colors + dynamic compositions = one stunningly beautiful gallery. Very, very nice!

Kim, I am simply blown away by the beauty and color of your sunflowers and this from a mostly B&W shooter. Stunning work! Vince B.

Good old Vincent would have really enjoyed this gallery too... I'm totally fascinated by the light and colours you have been able to capture so perfectly. It's so spontaneus and natural to vote twice for such a beautiful display of elegance in nature, I have just realized I had just voted once...:^(( Marisa

Mahin De Silva		28-Aug-2004 08:28
This gallery just has me in awe! You've captured some amazing colours here.

Spectacular use of color and design! The vivid warmth of the yellows and reds against the bright blue sky infuses these images with such a sense of energy and joy, and they are a delight to behold. Here in Gold Beach, on Oregon's south coast, we lack the heat to produce such remarkable sunflowers, so I'm particularly grateful that you chose to share with us these wonderful pictures. Thank you!

Not going to comment on any one, they are all wonderful. Might have seen you there, but we headed for Oceanside - much cooler.
