PHOTOGRAPH INFO

Thank you again for all the kind & warm expressions of sympathy on the passing of my Dad. I really appreciate everyone's support.

This photo was taken 25 minutes after the photo in the previous post, after the sun & the rainbow had disappeared.

Great detail in the large version.

Camera settings and post-processing: Shot with the Canon EOS 5D and the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS lens at 70mm, ISO 800, f/3.5, shutter 1/640s. (Not sure why I was shooting at ISO 800, but I was...) Curves, color balancing.

Thank you for visiting Durham Township!

I feel this is more artistically beautiful than anything you've posted in a while.

I love it.

And you have all my sympathy. Be strong.

This is a really beautiful shot, the boy definitely adds something to the shot.

The golden color of the cut field is really amazing with the vivid green. The youthful curiosity pours from this and I find myself wishing I could also be in the field looking at what he sees on the ground.

Wow, you're not kidding about the larger version. The stems of warm gold and the lush green really stand out. Wonder what the boy finds so interesting? Lovely as always.

Stunning! The gold tones and light are wonderful..and the boy adds a sense of scale..giving us a sense as to the size of the wheat field. Excellent!!!

went to work but the office was gone
nothing left but this big yellow lawn
so I just sat down and stared at the dirt
I just got the news I just lost my shirt

Thanks endless for your prospective, kcdt stock is always up.

Great color as always. The boy curled up reminds me of a new birth ... the upcoming growth after the harvest. It's almost sad in a way, sad that the wheat is gone, but a new field will rise again. Nice work Kathleen.

To viewer it has appealed.

I have been visiting your blog for sometime and I really love the beautiful photographs you take. They are inspirational and feel as though time is standing still(I guess in a photo it is). They make me want to visit this little township. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful talent.

Opps! Last line of peom posted should have been different. I couldn't read my own rough draft. Corrected poem should read.....

(my son challanged me to write a haiku. I think this now makes it correct.)

Love your work Kathleen. I am not a photogarpher although I inspire to become one some day and your blog is making me impatient as to when that day will come :) I can't say whether it's the light or angles or focus or what technical aspect of your photography that puts the magic in it. But what you have made out of this story; this story of kathleen and this little town is one I would not have liked to be told to in any other way.

So sorry to hear about your Dad - you are in my thoughts and prayers.

A beautiful blog always - and today's photo is no exception. I love the richness of the colours.

Best wishes

Love the colours, they really jump off the screen! Great image Kathleen.

simply stunning...

beautiful photo

After years of mindless harvesting of the same tired crop of ideas, a new thought emerges. A seed that if planted deep enough, given time to take root and the opportunity to develop fully, can provide us with the means to live at peace with this world.

Emotional picture.

Really beautiful
