This one was pulled out - almost literary - from my 2007 archive. Not because I don't have any new stuff to post, but because I was looking for a good candidate that I could use for a new digital landscape painting and I found this.
Back in 2007 I very good remember that this particular image has caused me a serious dilemma, which resulted in a permanent place in my ever growing archive and probably won't ever see the light. But ... for another reason this image left a permanent impression on me which I probably can't explain in words.
The post-processing on this one was minimal! The early morning atmosphere seems to reveal enough depth and details from the foreground to the far back, yet characterized by a soft and peaceful mood.
Still I'm utterly impressed by the impressively extensive Depth of Field these simple point-and-shoots - such as my 5mp Canon S50 - reveal by their tiny lenses and sensors. It also makes me realize more often than I dare to admit why in the hell I need a bigger, heavier and far more expensive camera and ditto lenses, just trying to mimic the extraordinary DoF each point-and-shoot potentially can capture. This particular strenght of a point-and-shoot - which is very important in landscape photography - is also the very reason why I never bothered a dSLR in the first place. I can't stress enough that all my images - partly until 2008 - were just shot with a rather simple Canon S50. Simplicity works, at least for me!
Post-processing notes
The fence was 10% dodged in lightroom, together with the foremost stump of the tree in the middle and some wheat helping the eye lead to the lighted horizon between the dike and tree.
