Hey, looky! I finally did something!

Prairie Sunset © 2007 Dawnne Gee i took this photo late saturday evening on November 24th of this year, after three days of hunting with my brothers-in-law. the orange is so intense because of a) a recently-harvested corn field was being burned (it’s a method of putting nutrients straight back into the soil), and b) a cross-process filter which also deepened the blue and removed the haze from the smoke. my angle on this wasn’t exactly perfect, but i don’t think i would have brought up a lot more of the trees in the foreground if i had dropped to one knee. as well, the sun disappears rather quickly this time of the year, and i didn’t have time to go running across the field to get more of the trees in the foreground. i’m hoping that a future version can be derived that will highlight the trees and make a nice progressive triptych with other versions. i released it anyway, because….well, i like it.

you’re welcome to read the release announcement. terribly exciting stuff, i know. it was also added to my portfolios.com portfolio.

Artist’s Note: Captured at sunset after three long days of hunting pheasants with my brothers-in-law, this view greeted us as we began to head home for the night. This version has had only one Nik Software filter applied: Cross-Process C04, which deepened the blues and made the orange more vibrant in what I considered to be a very pleasant way. The air in truth was rather hazy and smoky due to the burning of a recently-harvested corn-field, which also contributed significantly the vibrancy of colors in the lower atmosphere.
