Light Streams Photo

Photographer’s Note

The soil conditions in our area are extremely dry this fall, so anytime the soil is disturbed, it is very very dusty. I took this image a few days ago in the hazelnut orchard where I am helping a friend with his harvest. The harvester uses very high volume air generated by large fans to separate the nuts from the trash. So as seen here, the sun was shining down through the clouds of dust hovering in the nut orchard - a rather compelling photographic opportunity wouldn't you say? I was on tractor duty so had no time to choose a point of view - just shot a few images and was on my way.

What a gorgeous shot. If only I had such an opportunity, and if I had I wouldn't have my camera, especially on a tractor in dusty conditions. :D
The greens and browns are a wonderful combination and the sunbeams are simply stunning.

It is simply amazing, a bit like an artificial scene created by an artist for a fantasy film. Breathtaking golden rays of this forest make me feel in wonderland. I added it to my theme 'Mystic mist'. BR, Jalab

Hello Gerald!

What an amazing light, what an amazing job with the exposure! Really mystical atmosphere! Excellent framing and composition, too! Congratulations!

cdmonson (2751) 2009-10-02 12:33

Hi Gerald:

This is really fabulous. The dusty conditions were perfect for a shot like this. And I think your composition is also excellent. The convergence point of the light beams is just off center, which works very well. Great job, I'm really jealous.

Hi, Gerald -

This is a most unusual streamer shot, much stronger than what we normally see. And well framed, too.

Another reminder to always take your camera, even on the tractor!

Best,
Dan

danyy (68628) 2009-10-14 21:49

Bonjour Gerald,
une qualité de lumières exceptionnelle, mais aussi des teintes chaudes qui sont les bienvenues, des jaunes puissants qui réchauffent vraiment ce sous-bois.

C'est puissament esthétique et séduisant et tout est bien calibré.
Mes amitiés.
Daniel.
