Fall in the Valley
From today.

D80, tripod
18-200 @ 44
f/8 @ 1/60

desaturated and mucked with a bit.

It wasn't a bright, colorful day. It was a bit drab and gray. I wanted the photo to look the way it felt.

Anyway...

Mark, Really nice sweeping lines. I like how you included just a small portion of the road on the left. The cloudy hills in the back are great. I like what you did with this. Looks like a neat location!

I'm thinking (especially with your second post) that your posted version doesn't quite look like the original. I totally see what you were going for, and think it was the right way to go. I don't think it came across in a little web image.

Great idea, Mark, and an image just full of pattern and lines. I sure like it.

Nicely done. The building is intriging (sp) to me. I was in your area last monday, hit the dalles dam, and then went through hood river looking for but not knowing if you had a coffee shop around town. Got out of town early to miss the evening commute around portland. Me and traffic dont mix. :)
