SUNFLOWERS 2001
Numerous numbers of sunflowers in Kimita Village, a northern part of Hiroshima Prefecture.  A newspaper reported that there were 500,000 flowers in the field.  It's a straightforward photo to show you the vast field of the flowers.
Height of sunflowers are approximately 2m, therefore once we walk into the field we have to look up at the flowers.  I took this photo at a small flower field aiming at the next vast field.
Though all the sunflowers looked facing at the same directions to the east sky, each flowers faced to slightly different directions when we looked them closely.  This photo taken with ultra wide lens enhance that.
Back of the flowers are also impressive.  I took various photos of their back and pick this photo up.  A couple of lovers?
It's a typical my favorite composition.
A morning dew with a flower.  I had to use maximum aperture at F2.8 to prevent a picture from blurring, though we need somewhat small aperture to focus both a dew and an image in the dew.
A field photo taken with wide lens.  This looks so different from the first one taken with telephoto lens.
A straight ridge between fields.  All the flowers at both side are facing to me and the ridge looks like a road in a church.  This was taken with Kenko Soft lens and thus being somewhat maerchenhaft.
