On the road to Bakersfield Photo

Photographer’s Note

Dear All,
Please find a view I've realized during sunset time around Bakersfield. We were travelling between Sequoiah National Park & the Death Valley.

Extract from Wikipedia

Bakersfield (pop. 372,320) is the county seat of Kern County, California, USA. It is one of the fastest-growing, large-population cities in the United States. As of 2007, the population was estimated at 372,320 within the city limits, making it the 11th largest municipality in California and 61st largest city in the nation according to U.S. Census estimates. The greater Bakersfield area has a population of around 468,000, including unincorporated areas, according to local municipal sources. It is California's third largest inland city, after Fresno and Sacramento. The city's economy relies on agriculture, petroleum extraction, and refinement industries.

Hello Olivier,

A very difficult picture with the strong sun in backlight, but you took with a very small F and 1/1000 that gives a excellent result, colour and composition are very nice.
Thanks for sharing.

Have a nice evening,
John.

Salut Olivier,
Des elements graphiques interessants photographiquement parlant dans ce paysage,le probléme est qu'ils sont un peu lointains,il faudrait pouvoir se rapprocher de l'une de ces pompes au profil caracteristique pour avoir un 1er plan fort,au niveau du cadrage on place l'horizon plutot sur le tier inferieur ou superieur de l'image pour une meilleure harmonie mais pas au centre,enfin concernant l'exposition face au soleil il faut fermer le diaph au maximum(je ne sais pas si tu en as le control sur ton appareil mais je pense qu'il doit fermer davantage...f:8)et parfois sous-exposer volontairement pour reduire le halo lumineux du soleil,voila tous ça c'est pour être constructif...
