Downland Poppies Goodwood - a photo on Flickriver

Downland Poppies Goodwood

This time of year I have been keeping a lookout on Facebook for any local Poppy fields appearing. A week ago this one came up about 9 miles from home in the South Downs hills near the world famous Goodwood Racecourse. It is a great location by a well known viewpoint called The Trundle just on the southern edge of the hills looking out over the coastal plain toward the sea 9 miles away and my home town of Bognor Regis. There is a bridleway on the northern edge of the field perfectly located for taking pictures. The crop in which the poppies are growing with the blue flowers is I think linseed

The shot was taken Saturday 12 June during a nice sunny day. The shot was taken with a Sony A77 with a Tamron 18-200mm at 160mm. I. took 3 shots for HDR and processed with Photomatix 6 using contrast optimiser preset for a natural look. I used Topaz Clarity to add more detail.
