Charolais Cow & Calf

PHOTOGRAPH INFO

Another photograph from Virginia. Click here to learn more about the Charolais (pronounced shar-ah-LAY) cattle breed.

Here's a crop of the cow and calf - they had such funny expressions and posture as I was talking to them:

Camera settings and post-processing: Shot with the Canon EOS 5D and the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L lens at 30mm, ISO 200, f/18, 1/200s. Curves adjustments, color balancing.

Thanks for visiting Durham Township!

Like those Early American landscapes by the likes of George Inness with their lush pastures and dramatic skies, (dairy clouds and pasture eyes)....about milkin' time too by the way things are shaping up.

I hope you told them some cow jokes.

Very very beautiful, really. I wonder if and what changes you made to the initial picture to make it look like this. :)

It is hard to udder
What you have captured with your shutter.
But try as I might
This picture is far from trite.
I observe - this is the start of our butter!

hello
Here is BICOUNETTE87, LIVING IN FRANCE , 30 KMS AROUND LIMOGES.
I discovered your blog one month ago, and I included in my favourites.
Each photo is so beautiful..
And , this one, you change only the colour of the cow (by a brown one)and you have the same view of my area... Surprising, but it's true

Tks a lot, and have a good day.
