July 2024 - Bitch Creek Farm Eastern Idaho
About the Image(s)
The one I have enclosed is Bitch Creek farm, located in Eastern Idaho. On a clear day you would see the Tetons from an Idaho perspective at this location. It was taken in September, 2013, using my Nikon D600 camera with my new Nikkor 24-120 f/4 ED VR. I was hand holding so on this cloudy day I used an ISO 1000, focal speeds of 200-400-800/a second using f/8. I felt the lighting was just right for this image as it provided some good saturation. I did little preparing the image and straighten out a couple of trees and did other adjustments.
This round’s discussion is now closed!

a pretty scene and nice visual flow. The buildings are small but provide the anchor we so often look for. The blend looks good to me. Maybe a touch of a tip based on the horizon and tree line in the distance? Posted: 07/15/2024 20:54:49
Good detail and color and well done usage of HDR. The horizon appears to slant up very slightly to the right. Posted: 07/16/2024 21:25:26
I like how the river takes my eyes into the background. Your overall process looks good. I'm a big proponent of darkening the edges of my images. I think this one would benefit from it. The trick is to be subtle enough that you can't see it. Posted: 07/17/2024 17:36:58
The river leads the viewer thru the scene pastorally and wonderfully.
To improve:"
perhaps a polarizer to enhance the water?
perhaps Nik to take some of the harshness off Posted: 07/23/2024 04:58:20

I overlooked that reflection - Thanks for letting me know Posted: 07/24/2024 00:53:24
Very peaceful scene, just wondering what it looks like on a clear day. I think I will park my camper at that spot for a couple of weeks to find out... I think Lisa's suggestion did tone down the river especially on the right. Posted: 07/24/2024 17:16:00
