PHOTOGRAPH INFO
This photo was taken on Friday evening in Carpentersville, New Jersey, about 10 minutes from Durham Township. I've shot this farm many times but I'm still amazed by the open sky there and how it dwarfs everything that humans do, even on a relatively large scale like growing crops.
Large version shows much more detail, especially since it was shot at f/22.
Post-processing: Shot with the Canon EOS 5D
Thank you for visiting Durham Township!

That tractor is definitely dwarfed. Cool shot.
Posted by keith on May 20, 2007 10:08 AMThe composition with the tractor at the horizon line is fantastic. Feels right to the eyes.
Posted by Robert on May 20, 2007 10:10 AMHow do you manage to get such dynamic range in your photos!? ND filter, or is it the clouds that soften the light?
Posted by hudsong on May 20, 2007 10:17 AMOH MY GOSH, what a sky!!!!! (where'd you get THAT?) and the cute little red thinger (playmobile?) sets the whole scene off perfectly. The streak of yellow on the horizon like a stroke of cad orange that slowly blends to lemon yellow by a
master,(which, of course...) and then hauled across the landscape by the cute little playmobile tractor with a long highlight cable.......and the foreground textures?......putty knife!
Glad you were there, so we can be! Thank you! (#2047 thru 4625)
P.S. ever see the painting "Cloud World" by Ed Mell?

Posted by david tinnon on May 20, 2007 11:13 AMThe feeling of insignificance. So classic.
The cloud formations here are great.
Posted by Michael George on May 20, 2007 11:19 AMI love the gold and blue contrast. And the red tractor with it's golden cloud of dust is a nice element! Nice work
Posted by Betsy Barron on May 20, 2007 11:35 AMStunning, Kathleen. Gold highlights are amazing. This belongs in a gallery. Better yet, my office wall.

Posted by Paulo Jorge Oliveira on May 20, 2007 4:44 PMYes it's a very beautiful shot. Colors and perspective...
Posted by Phil on May 20, 2007 5:15 PMWhy do you have such great clouds? Our clouds never look like that.
Posted by Richard on May 20, 2007 8:47 PMIt is lovely. In a strange way, the picture seems to depict the 'smallness' of our world in the grand scheme of things :)
Posted by Wanderer on May 20, 2007 10:19 PMThe beauty in this image defies description. I'm speechless.
Posted by Russ on May 20, 2007 11:20 PMThe tractor is nice suprise in this picture.
