Sunny Sunflowers

With all the flagging wars about abuse (if curious, read recent posts by @themarkymark) unfolding on in Steemit right now, posting photos must be of extreme irrelevance or callousness. I do retain, however, I'm just a simple dude who travels the world and takes pictures.

I've been here less than a month and already learned a lot. I have no political affiliations, don't really know any whales, don't wanna get flagged by one but I do sway to one side of the coin.

I sway to the betterment of Steemit - I'm vested in it. I dump my hard earned cash to get a sliver of exposure on the travel and photography sections - while circle jerking whales are saturating it. You guys' upvote, even ones with irrelevant spammy comments that clearly shows my content wasn't consumed, is appreciated.

I contribute the only way I know, with cool and happy pics (like this one to brighten your day) and with entertaining narrative here and there from my adventures around the globe.

...About the photo...

I veered off while driving back home one day, to a sunflower farm off Highway 80 in Davis, California. With tight a cropped composition and a sky backdrop like this, I could have said I took this in Tuscany, Italy (which I do have photos of).

If you've read my previous article on how to Take Awesome Photos with your SmartPhone, you'll notice I'm simply using the Fibonacci Ratio or Golden Mean rule to compose this image.

Knowing a simple rule like the Golden Mean, you can pretty much take any bland or mundane scenery look interesting... most of the time. Great lighting handles the rest :)

hats off for the nice picture

beautiful pictures sir

My favorite flowers 😍 beautiful

The great yellow color of flower

great shot. very vivid :D

Those sunflowers look so much larger than what I bought and posted a few days ago. Please check it out. I did macro shots of the center. I want to try growing the seeds. It just withered and I'm hoping the seeds will come out healthy. I'd appreciate any tips and comments. Cheers!

done deal :)

I grew some a few years back, and kept the seeds in a jar, I planted the seeds the next year and they grew even taller than the first plants, I grow them every year, and all from the original packet if you know what I mean :-) just keep the seeds from each harvest and plant after the last frost voila.

A lot of people call themselves photographers, but this is a really good picture, for real

So beautiful pic.

It's a fantastic photo, I learn much from your post, thanks for your sharing.
What a pity! It's too late to resteem your post.

Beautiful photo and awesome post in general. If no one else does, I can truly tell you that I appreciate your work of art. Your photo has given me a new found love for the beauty of sunflowers.

Thank You!

Thanks!

Happy new year 2018

Surja Mukhi flowers showcase their identity to all and fascinated by its beauty. This flower is commercially grown in different countries of the world. Most of the cultivation is in Russia, Ukraine and Argentina. It is not only the flower, but also the beneficial oil supply provider. Compared to the other common oils available in the market, there are many useful benefits. Let's know today about the beneficial properties of sunflower oil.

Wao Photography
Please share some tips
Reply please

Enjoyed your post! Awesome photo.

Gorgeous :) Beautiful phography @adonisabril Definitely shows why I love sunflowers.

I agree with what you said to. I have been on Steem for less than a month (so I guess I'm a minnow, feel more like a guppy) and see all of these post that blow me out of the water (with horrible content) and I wondered what was up. I read @themarkymark post earlier today and was dumbfounded.

It definitely made me want to make sure that I produce good content and reply with the same integrity.

Just keep at it. If you believe in the platforn and act on it, it will succeed!

I felt nostalgia for the summer... :)

I like your style @adonisabril . You are here for the right reasons and your content is very consumable. That's what makes time on steemit fun and rewarding for readers. Thanks for mentioning that you invested in the platform. Putting your money where your pics are is the right way to do it. You have a happy follower in me!

Thank you, this community is better with an involved steemian like you :)

you have the right attitude! To contribute is important, and to do it in your own way is also mucho importante

Beautiful pics :)

Thanks! Some take and don't give back. Steemit won't survive with that sort of mentality.

Good photo, I am a photographer, it passes for my blog and sees my content, I hope that it should be of your taste, you have my vote :D greetings

Sun Flower is Common Ostrich of Flowers

nothing wrong with what you do, it is photography, and it IS a skill, keep right on, and stay AWESOME!

Excelente fotografia!!, te felicito sigue publicandolas y màs interesante si tienes esa pasiòn por la fotografia, el color tan hermoso de los girasoles evocan vida y pasiòn.

Thank you

Yeah, I think that's great that you're staying out of all of the political drama and doing your thing. I think your photo looks fantastic. Excellent colors, exciting focal point, and the gorgeous sky backdrop. I'm glad you snapped this one and shared it!

Thank you, hard to not keep out of what's going on when you have a stake in the outcome :)

Just keep on posting good content and don't worry about everyone else. I am curious about your usage of bots, I have been looking at the bot tracker website and hesitant to use them because the max profitable vote always seems to fall to 0 prior to the votes going off. Do you find that it doesn't matter and to use them anyway? How much about does it take to get on the hot lists for photography and travel?

Great picture! Great post!

The beauty of nature..

Awesome photos and sharing!

I love sunflowers, especially the seeds. The photo is worth a lot to me.

You just shared the perfect way to share a photo. I love your work and love the story you share about the photograph. For me when you share the story like you did at the bottom it allows me the feeling of being there with you when you snapped the shot. When you can do that you will always win, at least I hope you always win!. I agree with your thoughts in the first 3/4 of your post. I'm going to pray as nothing else seems to work to resolve it. Cheers! Upvoted And Resteemed Thank you for your support!
