Ray of light Photo

Photographer’s Note

Sometimes in spring, in the Dordogne time is very changing busy sun with the rain into less time than one should not for the statement.
This day I tried to fix my balance of the white on the corn field in full sun to use my infra-red filter, but the cloudy sky did not let pass the sun.
When suddenly a sunbeam bored the clouds to light the few houses of the village, I just had time to withdraw my filter IR, to place a graduate gray filter to avoid brurning the sky, to framed and shot before the clouds obscure the landscape again.

Such a dramatic sky, the color of the green is a wonderful contrast. I like the treeline on the left and the pathway leading into the scene. You captured the perfect window in between the clouds, well done.

Hi Armandino
The choice for the gardual grey filter it was quite good, increases the contrast of the clouds. The white balance was well manage, the coloures are pure.
And of course, the compo it's leading the eyes to the background.
Congratulations
Filipe

Hi Armandino, amazing shot, with a good composition and a beautiful perspective on the left side and a beautiful green field on the rest.
amazing contrast with the grey sky.
just a little bit too dark, i think.
thanks, ciao
