JD and I usually head up to the Brenham area every year to see the wildflowers. JD’s rule is simple: use any camera equipment that I want, as long as I can hold everything I bring in one hand. Needless to say, this trip is not an all-out photography trip. We made our annual trip this last week.
I primarily used the trip to scout for Bay Area Photo Club’s upcoming trip to the area which I plan on attending.
Today’s photo is all about colors—blue, green and yellow. As I took the photo, I knew that I wanted this to be a panorama and make the three elements of the photo—flowers, trees and sky—each be approximately 1/3rd of the image.
Enjoy.
Camera settings: Nikon D3x, Nikon 28-70mm f/2.8 at 28mm shot at ISO 200, f/11 and 1/90th of a second.
Post Processing:
Lightroom—Set black and white points and cropped image.
Photoshop—used Topaz Adjust Photo Pop present to bring out details in the scene.
Nice field of wildflowers. Great colors.

The panorama format was definitely right for this shot. The whole scene just flows nicely for me. I love the sea of yellow as foreground and the low viewpoint taken to obtain the photo. The inclusion of the wispy clouds as the background adds to the scene. The treeline as the middle ground helps to separate the two but still pull it all together.
ReplyDeleteVery nice job.
I like everything about the scene except the sky seems a little too deep of blue for me. I know how you love your polarizing filter so I will assume that you had it on your lens. You did not mention it in your write-up. If so, do you think it gave the sky too much intensity?

Good landscape. You have a foreground, middle ground and background that are clear and concise. Likewise, your colors combination of warm colors in the foreground which brings foreground closer to the viewer and the cool color of the sky which helps establish it as the background. Nice simple composition.

Nice job Larry. It's a good example of why people flock to the area this time of the year.
