Blue & Gold

Lupine & Oaks that is. No poppies interspersed
A friend spotted this in Carmel Valley, so I had to visit
This was on grazing land, this is as close as I could get
This was spread across a few acres so I went with a pano/stitch for the 1st two

Neat find Dan.

Neat scenes - I like the free hills and the blooms.

The images seem a bit on the bright side. I might be inclined to bring the shadows and blacks down a bit to add some emphasis to the saturation levels if these were my shots.

Hey Dan,

That's a really cool area you came across!

I am with Alan, that these feel a little bright, but also the colors aren't quite right and I know that reflects back to your being color blind. Though the more I look at these, it could be just a brightness issue that is throwing everything else off.

Putting these in the Critique forum or contacting Ben so that for instance that #3 image could be used for Let's Play would be a fun project to see what others might be able to bring out in these.

Jim, Alan,

here's a slight rework. Do I just post the photo to the "Let's Play" forum?

 

[Ben Egbert]

Here is a link that shows how to make a DNG file. You can email the file to me at egbert1940@gmial.com and save the hassle of uploading it.

The next Lets play will probably be Mar 27th, or maybe the following week. I am leaving town Wednesday, so if you want me to upload it, send it before then.

I definitely like this one better Dan!

Ben explained how to submit a Let's Play photo. Be sure to work with Ben since he coordinates it all.

I like the edit as well.

This is the right exposure, Dan. Nice job
