Yellow
I know I tell people not to shoot from the seat of their car but I just couldn't resist this time. Highway 58 near the Carrizo Plain in the Temblor Range about a week ago.

Nice one Steve, the Carrizo/Temblor area is pretty amazing this Spring. The colors are glowing in this image. Nice processing. Did you use a polarizer? Just curious.

The blues and yellows are great here. I hope you weren't driving. :biggrin:

Steve,

You were only adhering to the Edward Weston school of art photography as he explained to Adams. " If it's more than six feet from the car it's not artistic, Ansel."
Hard to resist such a dreamy scene brings to mind that Old rock classic " Mellow Yellow."

Of course I'm old enough to remember hearing it on the radio.

That is some intense color, Steve.

There was a lot of yellow at Carrizo this year. And water tanks. :biggrin:

Derek, yes I did use a polarizer. I want to go back!

At least you took the time to roll down the window. :wink: Not bad for a grab shot. I like the colors and minimalist aspect of this image. Good stuff!
