PHOTOGRAPH INFO
This photograph was taken tonight around 7 p.m. in a nearby wheat field that's been infiltrated by gorgeous and sweet-smelling chamomile. Summer is on its way now.
Post-processing: Shot with the Canon EOS 5D
Thank you for visiting Durham Township!
--Kathleen
ISO 1000 and not a hint of grain. That 5D is a beast!
Great shot. The wide angle really works well here.
Posted by Daniel on May 26, 2006 3:20 AMThis is a wonderful portrait shot. I love the perspective you've given to it - that dramatic top-down feel makes the chamomile radiate from Jenn.
Posted by LwS on May 26, 2006 3:27 AMGood idea, and a very good composition. Nice one.
Posted by garyx on May 26, 2006 3:36 AMwhat a wonderful image today K. chamomile is my favorite taste of the thea. u can feel the wonderful smell of it, fantastic mood you created here. take care and have a nice weekend.
Posted by bruno on May 26, 2006 3:51 AMGreat shot Kathleen. I really like the point of view and depth of field.
Posted by Justin Gallagher on May 26, 2006 4:01 AMNice photo KC. Nice pose Jenn.
Posted by Grandfather on May 26, 2006 6:13 AMThis is another amazing shot. The entire composition is wonderful.
Posted by Laurie on May 26, 2006 6:23 AMWhat a beautiful sight. So lovely. Everything jumps out to you.
Posted by Noreen on May 26, 2006 6:36 AMNicely done. I think the composition in this photo is great.
Posted by Joe Martz on May 26, 2006 7:53 AMThis is a beautiful excepti.n to the adage that says never, never, never use a wide angle lens for a portrait. Never, never, never means most of the time.
Posted by John on May 26, 2006 8:20 AMbeautiful composition. magical perspective. almost a fairytale. :-)
Posted by pixels.in.my.head on May 26, 2006 8:54 AMTHis is a stunning portrait. Very impressive.
Posted by david on May 26, 2006 8:58 AMGreat portrait. Setting her in the field with an averted glance keeps it from being an overly cutesy shot, while still conveying the natural prettiness of your friend and the location. The position of the flower she's holding seems a little contrived, but not cheesy.
Posted by Robert on May 26, 2006 9:08 AMVery nice! I like the way the green jumps out. Keep up the great work!

Just in how many new ways can you impress me, Kathleen? Your talents are simply delights to feast on, and sneaky devils to catch up with.
Posted by PlasticTV on May 26, 2006 10:34 AMbeautiful composition.
Posted by armeen on May 26, 2006 12:26 PMInventive composition, and creative use of wide angle perspective. I like it!
Posted by James Lomax on May 26, 2006 1:23 PM.....and yes, its impressive for ISO 1000, even with a small image like this. I'm pleased with my 5D!
Posted by James Lomax on May 26, 2006 1:29 PMWow...stunning colors. I love the edges of that lense! I also think that the placing of the subject is/was very effective. Beautiful shot!
Posted by Greg on May 26, 2006 1:52 PMGreat shot, really like the DOF and the whole idea of it, plus brilliant colours ;) anychance of seeing the original (just so I can see the colours?)
Posted by JD on May 26, 2006 1:56 PMNicely posed portrait, for me would have been better without her holding the flower, when you hold a thumb over this it is so much better.

What a Supershot ""Jenn in the chamomile"
I love it! Once I a made a walk on an isle with chamomilefields. The smell, whow, the wind on that hot summerday blew the smile of all those flowers in to the nose of my colleags and me! An experience not forget!
Thank you for remembering that chamomilesmellyday!
Keep on making such beautiful shots!
