On those jewel-of-a-morning days when I am lucky enough to be around with a camera, I always feel a bit of tension between how busy I am trying to capture the scene vs. sitting back and enjoying the zen of the splendor. This was one of those moments, when the sky was holding good color as the sun crested the hill and warm yellow began to spill through the grass widows. In my heart though, I know that if I tried kicking back and taking it all in I go mildly insane wishing I was photographing the beauty.
This is a blend of five photographs for better dynamic range and depth of field. If you’re interested, I posted an animated gif of the original jpgs the camera captured along with the raw (I used the raw versions to blend) at naturephotographers.net in the Landscape Gallery.
