Some of my favorite regional landscape elements are field rows, a kind of organic circuitry that run on the language of irrigation. These rows often create concentric outlines or parallels which follow any contour of the land which falls in their path. Whether holding the new season’s fresh green tips or the signs of last year’s bounty, their geometry makes for some amazing scenes. A favorite technique of mine is to take a relatively ‘busy’ scene like this one and create the feel of minimalist intent by selectively positioning a few key elements.
Taken in Throckmorton County, Texas. Adjusted hue & saturation slightly in photoshop.
Driving along highway 78 near Absarokee early one morning, I spotted this scene begging to be photographed. I adore Western Montana, it has so much going for it – Glacier National Park, beautiful mountains, forests and lakes, good arable land and prairies, lovely wild flowers, abundance of wildlife, and great people too ! / Sorry, I have no name for the wee lake ! Shot on my Canon EOS 40D, on a tripod, with polarising filter attached, f22, 1/6 sec, Auto WB, RAW file processed in Photoshop CS3, with just minor levels/curves adjustments. A little boost to the colours in LAB mode. /
