Rural Landscape

I have a lot to learn with respect to "seeing" light, so I took a drive last evening and looked for not-so-obvious photos. I came around a bend in the dirt road and there was a really nice scene lit up for me!

My only regrets are that I cut off the house on the right and to a lesser extent, cut off the top of the pine tree in the background. I used a blue-to-yellow graduated filter in post-processing to bring some colour to the sky and to make the yellows stand out. I feel the barn being in the center works because of the hay bails that are positioned across the frame.

Or black-and-white with a red filter applied??

VERY nice! I love the stripes of the light. Very awesome of you to catch that.

Love the shot, and I love the crop. I admit the pine tree being cut off doesn't bother me. :thumb

Thanks Schmoo. I feel that the photo isn't quite wide enough and I really regret not seeing a better angle of this photo.

I like the second shot the best. Something about barns, hay bales and black and white. Seems like theyy just go together.

Thanks David. I really like the black and white print as well. The red filter really makes the light streaks pop out on print. Thanks for your comment!:D
