Wind Pump at Sunrise

Gallery: Man & NaturePosted October 31, 2012132 views3 comments

This was shot on the south edge of the Wildcat Hills south of Scottsbulff. The sweet early morning sun light is back and the smoke is gone. I was out early this morning to shot in a place I had said to myself that I needed to go shoot there. This is a combination of two images for exposure. I appreciate all comments and critiques.

Sigma 17-70
All settings on manual
Shutter 0.4 and 1/4
Aperture f18

As a windmill aficionado, this is very well done.

Very nice Richard. I like the pink glow in the sky and the lonely feel this has.

Oh yeah, excellent comp, and gorgeous colors. I like the way you kept the relative darkness of this time of day in the scene, but still managed to retain so much shadow detail, the way we would see it with our own eyes.
