Daffodils

Description — This is a field of daffodils grown west of Mount Vernon, Washington.  It was photographed on April 20, 2009.

Camera Nerd Info — Fujinon GA645zi medium-format camera, Fuji Provia 100F film, exposure 1/3s @ f/38.

Commentary — I found this field of daffodils while driving around looking at the tulip fields nearby.  Fields of flowers are easier to photograph with a medium-format camera than with a large format camera, but you still have to account for the flowers’ wiggling.  The Fuji 645zi has a built-in lens that will set in one of four focal lengths.  It will also imprint exposure data along the border of the film if I remember to turn this feature on.  I did so on this day.
