As Ricky Skags would say...
I liked the scene, and one lonley Blakeyed Susan is resting at the bottom away from all of the others. And it has a stage of its own it seems.
I shot this with my Hasselblad 500 Classic and 80mm f/2.8 Carl Zeiss Planar lens on Ektachrome professional ISO 100. I did not record the exposure, but I metered with a Sekonic Studio Deluxe meter with invercone aimed at the sun. Note the lack of lens flare; I love that lens. I have used one of these lenses since 1967 mounted on various cameras. Of course, it was "fixed" on my Rolleiflex 2.8F Twin Lens Reflex. It is as good as a Hasselblad if not better.
