Red in Yellow (Vertorama)
Location: Canola field on a farm near Durbanville.
Description: Regular viewers of my stream might recognize that this Vertorama is very similar to another Vertorama which I uploaded to Flickr in August last year.
While I was setting up the step-ladder to give me a bit of extra elevation, Enzo was getting rid of some extra energy by running up and down the path. I liked the way that his red T-shirt contrasted with all the yellow canola flowers, so I snapped a couple of images of him running!
At that stage I was still of the opinion that a human figure would almost always spoil a good landscape photograph! Although I did believe that a well-placed person might give an image some extra impact, at the time I felt that it would be so much of a distraction, that it would kindof lock your eyes and perhaps prevent them from roaming around and enjoying the beauty in rest of the scene.
What the heck was I thinking???
Oh, and by the way… the clouds were from another day…
This one is definitely better when viewed Large
Equipment: Sony Alpha 100 (11-18mm ultra-wide)
