Image views best larger. Here I'm trying some HDR techniques and

leveraging the D200's exposure bracketing along with an ultra wide-

angle focal length. That's the real sky, and those pears were

dropping from a tree right at the edge of the cornfield. Thanks for

looking, and for comments.

Looking at your PN portfolio, I assumed you lived out in the hinterland, hours from any decent sized city, yet this shot was taken only a few minutes from where I live, just up Georgia Avenue.

 

It's good to see a restrained use of HDR that is used to better reproduce a scene, rather than render it a garish mess. What I especially like about this composition are the clues that support the natural occurrence of what is an otherwise incongruous scene.

Carl: First... howdy, neighbor! Yes, the owners of that farm are kind enough to let us run our bird dogs through their fields, and I try never to leave the camera at home. It takes work to shake off the suburbs, visually, when you live near DC. I enjoyed introducing this particular bit of agricultural mystery since it also immediately struck me (while being right there!) as seeming an unlikely scene. Thanks so much for taking the time to look it over and to comment.
