Midwest Gold Photo

Photographer’s Note

Hi Everyone,
I am finally back after a long and busy vacation.

I returned with so many photos and this is my 1st post from my trips.I took this GoldenRod field with old Red Barn photo in Columbus,IN last Friday when I was heading back Chicago from FL.
I have 6 different version of this shot and hope you like it:)
Cheers and Have a Great Week,

Welcome back Tolga
Striking colours in this shot - no one will fail to notice your return with such a bright image. There's a nice abstract quality, particularly with your use of depth of field to blur out the red barn and other buildings in the distance.
Nice work
Peter

Hi CT,
A great composition, my friend!
I love the way you divide the frame and giving dominance to the shining yellow field!
Well done here, and I'm looking forward to see more from your long absence!

Merhaba Tolga,
Nerede buldun böyle sarı çiçeklerle kaplı yeri. Çok güzel ve o kadar da hoş bir kare. Çekim teknikleri ile ilgili benden önce yorum yapmışlar, bana bir şey bırakmamışlar.Ellerine sağlık. Selamlar...

Hi Tolga
A very impressive image allowing us to see the sharp detail of the golden flowers ... the colour has much impact. I really like the blurred background too. This is very artistic. A great piece of art and thanks for sharing.
Best wishes
Mark

Selam Tolga.
Vaaaaay çok iyi.
Bu fotoğrafını atlamışım her nedense, harika bir fotoğraf olmuş dostum.
Alan derinliği çok iyi olmuş fakat ben geri planın ve dolayısıyla arkada kalan yapıların da net çıkmasını isterdim; belli ki bu senin özel seçimin ve böyle de çok güzel dostum.
Ellerine, gözlerine ve yüreğine sağlık.
Güzel paylaşımın için teşekkürler, ışığın bol olsun.

Yasin.

Hi Tolga, you have crafted the most amazingly beautiful image. The composition is perfect from all regards. It has a great POV and colours and the lights are controlled well to prevent them from bouncing off and blurring. Very fine picture indeed.

larevedere (1257) 2008-06-02 7:29

Good idea, composition also, but not especially the way of focusing.

Wonderful colours and use of aperture here! Really love the blurred out red barns in the background and this wonderful field of rapeseed! Almost like a painting!
