potato fields

Rarely would I choose to shoot directly into the sun. But, last evening when I saw

these clouds over the local fields, the light on the grass, and on the irrigation spray, I

decided it was worth a try. Please view this larger, thank you!

It's great, Dick. I like the dramatic sky (more visible when enlarged) The lense flare does'nt bother me, but I feel the sun is very harsh IMHO. Generally, well taken shot. Regards, Lawrence.

I tend to agree with Lawrence's comment about the sun. I like it, It's a very nice image. Regards, Jean-Marc

Thank you, Lawrence and Jean-Marc! I agree that the sun is too blown out. This image was an experiment and I was surprised that I was able to get as much out of it as I did. There was just not enough range in post processing to adjust the sun exposure without losing the other detail. But, I thought it was worth playing with. I usually don't like the lens flare, but I don't know how to avoid it when shooting directly into the sun. Maybe a neutral density filter would help in this situation, but I have no experience with them.

Well, I like the image as it is - including the peculiar sun and the lens flares... Gives the picture a certain something. The technical aspects I leave aside.

Thank you very much, El!

Nice composition!! The larger version sure looks good!! The monotone atmosphere and the lens flare add to the effect!!

Thank you very much, Vamsi!

I like this image as is. Very Beautiful. The sky is so pleasing to look at also. Take care

Thank you very much, Cynthia! This was an unusual scene up here this time of year.

looks like heaven

Thank you, Mary! One of the slogans for where I live is "a little slice of heaven".

 

Best regards,
