Photographer’s Note

I utilized a slow shutter speed to capture the motion of the wheat.

3 words Derrald.... AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME.

Very well executed shot. You were thinking ahead in knowing that the wheat would be moving in the wind, and you maximised that with a long exposure- at look at the great results... superb.
The singh-ray filter really makes the colors and contrast 'pop'. Very well done Derrald!

Cheers,

Derrald, stunning shot...! Only minor criticism is placing the horizon on the half-way point in the frame. I think it might look stronger, compositionally, with the top 10% or the bottom 10% cropped. Otherwise - perfect. Paul.

Great colours here. A clever idea to use a relatively long exposure to blur out the foreground grass with movement.

That EFS 10-22mm really is a terrific lens (I gotta get one!). It opens up the wide end of the APS-specced Canons.

Congratulations and TFS

Lovely colours and nice clouds effect created by the wide angle.
The horizon is in the middle of the frame, but it doesn't seem to cause any problem in this shot.
The foreground is wonderful, your choice of shtter was very wise

Hi Derrald!

A-w-e-s-o-m-e. I also tried several times to take a photo like you did. Unfortunately the conditions haven't been that perfect as you had them. Furthermore I'm not that equipped with filters. Anyway... gorgeous colors and perfect exposure time. Good work!

Regards,
Sebastian
