Favorite Farm Road
PHOTO INFO Since this seems to be a burning question: one of the "tricks" I use to get that "dreamy" effect is to expose my shots slightly longer than necessary, thus creating a little bit of blur. But - in addition to that - I ALWAYS pay attention to the histogram (I'm shooting digitally, remember) to be sure my data isn't lost on the light OR the dark end. If you learn how to use your histogram and understand how relevant it is to your post-processing, that alone will change your photos in an amazing way. This image is of a favorite farm road where the sky opens up and the colors of the fields seem brightened because of it. I've posted many photos of this road on my blog during the last year - yet it always looks like a different place whenever I visit, even though I shoot from nearly the same spot everytime. I'll skip the post-processing description right now and get into a more detailed version soon - but I did expose this shot a bit more than necessary and also used many single curves adjustments here and there, as well as the selective color/saturation tools. Thanks to everyone for stopping by and commenting! -- Kathleen Comments:
