Just north of Imlay City, Michigan there is the Ankley Family farm. They charge a crazy low price of $10 to photograph the flower and sunflower fields. I make one trip there each year, and typically wait until fall when the temps cool down. They have great Dahlias, and I mainly shoot the front side, but also watch for a good view of the backside. Here is the finished processed image.
Here is the photo that came out of the camera. As you can see, I used one of my printed backgrounds and shot it at f/32 for maximum depth of field. I used my Tamron 18-300 lens on the Fuji X-T30 MKll.
I cropped and used Smart Photo Editor to do the process you see in the finished image.
