Early Morning at the Prairie

[Douglas Sherman]

This image was taken on a foggy morning in Somme Prairie in Cook County Illinois. The grasses are Big Bluestem which are commonly up to 4-5 feet high in Midwestern prairies. Under the right conditions they may reach 10 feet tall. The sun was muted enough by the fog so that I could actually look at it through the viewfinder and find a suitable composition.

Wow Doug! What a cool and kind of rare shot. I have seen similar shots in the past, but not very often that's for sure. Nice work with this.

 

[Leslie Hunter]

So beautiful!

Great shot Doug. I sure hope that one is hanging on one of your walls.

 

[Ben Egbert]

Great shot.

 

[Zeph]

Well executed Doug...

 

[Guy Schmickle]

Really beautiful Doug

 

[Douglas Sherman]

Thank you to Guy, Zeph, Ben, Alan, Leslie, and Jim for your kind comments. I spent a lot of time photographing prairies when I lived in Illinois and this is one of my favorite images.

So darn pretty, Doug. I see a lot of composition possibilities. I like yours.

Nicely seen and executed. Simple and stunning.
