Still playing with this blog, too busy to post very often but I just recently printed this picture out in A3 size and have it hanging in my room.I took it on August 31 from my son's deck in Vernon. The haze is from a forest fire that was burning in the Kamloops area and the wind had drifted it all through the Okanagan.
I converted it to black and white and then used the duotone feature in Photoshop. This is actually a quadtone.
What I like about it? The simple lines and the overall look with the hills just visible through the haze. The one thing I don't think I like? The gap between the trees and the bushes. My eye goes to that gap.
I shot it using my 70-200 Canon lens at 200mm and 1/500 @ f7.1, ISO 125. Taken about 2:00 in the afternoon.
*It does make a nice new header picture, though.*
