...land of my youth.... - Zig - Jun 18, 2007

Yes indeed.
I spent the first 11 years of my life in the house on the left; I used to play among the haybales when this used to be a barley field. I revisited this place in more ways than one last week and took this with the Canon normal nifty-fifty(f1.8).
It was a very sunny day: I processed the raw at low-contrast, low-saturation, then dodged to make the lighter colours sing a bit.
A bit of a blue grad on the sky, then popped it through the diffuser to bleed the whites a bit for that "1940s"-Vera-Lyn -style thang, which though before my time, is how I remember some of the bits of my earliest years.

Very beautiful place Zig.
I bet you have lovely detail in the field, like your composition too....

Isn't it great and sometimes a little strange to visit those places you spent your childhood.
