Not so long ago I added a new 15 minute photo challenge to Adorama TV, if you can see the video below in case you missed it.
This time I visited a field of poppies growing on the south downs just outside of Brighton, Sussex.
I’m a sucker for poppies, may be it’s the bright red colour, which always looks great in photos. May be it’s the beauty of the poppies themselves. Either way I can’t resist photographing them and I wasn’t alone. In the sort time I was at the field I bumped in to several other photographers who couldn’t resist the lure of a field full of poppies either.

Thanks Gavin, once again a great video always enjoy the 15 mins challenges.
Have to say the oil paint filter works a treat on this kind of image, can even make my efforts look ‘not half bad’… LOL

Isn’t this a repeat? I know I’ve seen this video before. Either that, or I’ve developed some pretty awesome psychic abilities. 🙂
Hi Gavin,
Another great video but underneath you have stated that the camera used was a Canon 60D not a 5. I hope that it was the 5 that you were using because if you did use the 60D and were guessing the composition on those shots looking up though the poppies, you were missing a trick. 😉
Nick.
Hi Gavin,
