Penning Photography Daily

Zooming down the highway, clouds to the left of me, clouds at my right, what was I to do?

Roll down my windows, take the previously set up camera, the awesome Pentax K20D, in my hand with the ultra-wide Sigma 10-20mm on it and let it start gathering in light.

This one is north of the airport (SPI) and on the way to Athens, Illinois. There’s a wide open space, with no poles, wires or obstructions. A nice gentle curve to the left and starting up a hill. A wonderful place for a portrait of the wide open prairie sky.

Soybean and corn fields paint a nice stroke of green, mushed out of focus due to the slow shutter and fast car. No cars for quite a ways in either direction. I was playing it as safe as possible. One handed framing is becoming a learned talent through trial and error.

A bit of tweaking in Lightroom, and Bob’s Your Uncle, here you are.

Put that in your dream and savor it.
