Field of Dreams

Description


To add a little more visual interest--and because I didn't like the shade of green in the original capture--I shifted the hue to this color and adjusted the saturation.

Exif: F Number: 4, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 10/10000 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 64, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 6.00 mm, Model: DSC-H1

Renata Gusciora June 26, 2008

Love the color! #6110179

Daniella Puente June 26, 2008

You did right Cary, this looks AMAZING! #6110339

Cary Rogers June 26, 2008

Thank you, Cheryl, Renata, and Daniella! I appreciate your encouraging comments! One of the challenges I had with capturing this field of grass was that the light kept changing (clouds) and the wind was unpredictable ... but the scene itself was wonderfully "dreamy" looking. #6110964

Chuck S. Frizzell June 26, 2008

Looks like a parade of Vegas show girls or flamingos. Love the color, great job. #6111926

Cary Rogers June 27, 2008

Hi Chuck ... thanks for stopping by and commenting! There were a couple of patches of this grass in a huge field, and the shimmering effect really caught my attention! #6113555

Dianna Hauf July 07, 2008

Cary Rogers February 01, 2009

Thanks, Patricia~! :-) This photo wasn't a recent win, though; it was clear back from July 2008. I use it in my gallery as a placeholder for the beginning of a new contest month. Thanks again! #7115982

Murry Grigsby February 16, 2009

I had missed this one too Cary! What a great change and result with the hue slider! This field looks like one of those sugary kids cereal that will be followed by Pepto-Bismo :0) Great light, action and full frame COLOR!! #7172902

Cary Rogers February 16, 2009

Thanks, Murry! The original color of these grasses was a pale, grayish-green...so, I thought I'd shift the color and give it a new look! The new color is a bit like purged strawberry pop, ice cream, and Pepto-Bismal. ;-) #7173487

M.Christine Duncan February 27, 2009

Like a dream!!! I realize this is an older win, but congrats anyways... the light and color are divine! #7222028

Thanks for dropping by and leaving me a comment, Stephen! Last week I went to the area where I shot this photo (in 2008), to see if the grass had gone to seed yet, and the whole field looked completely different. I'm glad I was able to get the shots I did, last year. #7656517
