Wheat Hill, Foggy Morning

Photograph info: I took this photograph this morning (Sunday). We had a powerful and drenching thunderstorm last night that left a beautiful blanket of fog behind.

Have a good Memorial Day. Hope you'll stop to remember someone important to you.

Camera settings and post-processing: Shot with the Canon EOS 5D Mark II and the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L lens at 70mm, ISO 400, f/13, 1/60s. Curves adjustment for contrast.

Thank you for visiting Durham Township!

Nice DOF, (Depth Of Fog!) I also enjoy the hue and textural transitions that occur when capturing the "edge" of crop fields. The distant horizontal light glow becomes nearer distinct tips. Closer, comes the clarifying detail of individual participants standing in the front row. They represent thousands of their friends and relatives who willingly stand side by side for days on end, in order to provide humanity with some pleasant (and possibly edible) visual effect.

Of course visual effects are like wild game, you have to shoot them to share them. So TYVM for taking the shot.

Green is so green and the mist softens the view nicely.

My eyes this morning are filled too with mist,
As I remember sons and daughters, defending me, a countless list.
Proudly they stand like wheat in the field,
My freedom and peace is the harvest they yield.
So with thankful heart I bow my head and pray
And hope for their safety and bravery as they stand in harms way.

Oooh Kathleen this is lovely. I just love the green grass again'st the misty morning sky. And I love how wheat looks when it's waving in the air. Great shot again!

Reminds me of the moments between sleep and awake. Dreamy :)

Very Lovely Indeed! Sort of reminds me of a civil war photo or an early morning trip to get water.

Stunning. The green is so fresh and new. It seems I could reach out and run my fingers through the soft tufts of young wheat.

Memorial Day has always meant a lot to me having had several members of my family serve. My dad always reminded us of the meaning of the day when we were growing up. My son is in the States right now and was home for the long weekend which really reminded me how blessed we are that he can come home when so any have given the ultimate sacrifice.

Excellent capture. I really like the way the grasses just fade into the fog. Very ethereal effect captures well.

Wow, What a beautiful shot! I love how the wheat is fading away into the fog.

We get a lot of fog here and it reminds me of the spring here in Nashville.
