Photographer’s Note

I haven't been around for a few days. I injured my back at work, no fun at all. This is taken on a little trip south when I went to pick my son up from camp. Due to pain it took me 4 days to do what should have been a one day trip, but did manage to do some photography along the way.

Hi Karen,
Sorry to hear about your injury, I hope you will be alright soon and provide more photos like this! The long, straight road going diagonally across the flat land here is very well captured, the shadows and small parts of sunshine make a very nice picture!
Kind regards
Gunnar

Hi Karen,
A beautiful rural Alberta shot. I like the feel of quietness and rural solitude. Karen, if you have the option in post processing, you might have tried to lighten up the foreground just a wee bit - almost too dark to pick out important details. I like it and TFS. Gerald

Hello Karen,
I like how you have allowed that lovely sky to dominate the frame with just the small strip of land at the bottom - works perfectly. Very good colours and sharpness. Hope your back starts to improve soon.

Hello Karen,

Hope you're much better now.
Love the composition with so much atention to the beautiful sky; it backs up the link between the patches of deep shadow bright sunshine.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Kaen,
This is a tremendous and fascinating view with the sky dotted with fine clouds. The foreground is a bit dark, which is a pity, on the other hand it has the effect of making the distant stretch of the road look more interesting, like we're travelling towards a better future, for instance.
Which leads me up to wishing you a quick recovery from your injury. I hope you can make that journey from darkness into the light.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Karen,

I hope your back will recover soon. That was also a very long trip considering your situation. Good think you ended up with some good shots to share with us. This image seem very soft, almost out of focus but the panorama is pretty. Typical of our province. The colours look nice and your point of view is good. Thanks Karen :-)

Hope you are feeling better now.
Your photo is fantastic with that wonderful sky. Right now, I am looking very often to the sky and capturing some good pictures of blue skies with nice cirrus clouds.

Ola Karen ,
Que linda esta paisagem pintada de verde cortada por esta estrada que leva o nosso olhar até ao horizonte , o céu estava magnifico com esta nuvens, boa profundidade de foto , bom contraste de cores , parabéns!!
Um abraço Gonçalo

Hi Karen
The clouds are excellent to give the image volume and depth, but all this foreground in the shade severely decreases the luminous impression we get from it, waiting a bit could have allowed to get better conditions
Have a nice day JY

Hello karen
A simple landscape photo composed nicely with the road leading us from the corner into the heart of the picture. Exposure is well controlled & the clouds are really beautiful

Hi Karen,
it is really impressing how this beautiful sky is dominating the landscape. Very nice contrasts and a subtle light. A pleasant impression!
With all my best wishes for a fully and speedy recovery!

Hello dear Karen,
A capture full of poetic ! A long route, like the faith of the mankind; straight ahead and some parts of it under bright light, some parts shadowy.
Good idea to leave for this nice sky that much space.
TFS and have a wonderfull weekend
Best regards
