Here's a shot I took the other day on my way home from work which I'd like some feedback on:
The Farm on the Hill
Thanks

WOW! I really like it. I really love the horizontal lines in this shot. Almost feels as if the colors are stacked on top of one another. Stunning! How did you get the farm and foreground well exposed while leaving the sky so dark? Did you use any kind of filter for this shot?

| I like it, the three colour bands look good together and the dark sky on sunny landscape creates a nice effect which brings out the farm. |

Thanks. No filters, handheld camera. I'd just jumped out of the car while driving home.
The sky is dark 'cos there's a rainstorm just over the hill. Everything else is bright 'cos of the sun.
I did underexpose by 1EV to saturate the colours a bit more.

| great shot.... it's always nice when you get an unsual visual effect like this... the dark grey clouds really bring the foreground to life, it makes for a really great contrast. Excellent shot. |

Someone should do a tutorial on this - counter-intuitive but a really useful trick.
Great shot pinback - as ever. had it been me I'd have played with positioning the horizon higher and lower - but that might well have been the way it ended up. Did you take a portrait-oriented shot as well - make the sky bigger kind of thing?

Thanks. Not of that scene - I had a hedge in front of me, a hedge on the left of me and a wet road to the right of me with cars hurtling along it at 70mph. And I was late for my tea! :-)
I drive past the same place every day and what I find really interesting is that the next morning, I didn't recognise the farm - it looked completely different in normal daylight, so that the roof became the dominant element and the whole scene was much less attractive.
You have to grab those shots while they're there!

| I think this shot would look really cool in poster size...it sort of strikes me as that sort of photo. Nice shot! |
