Waist High Under A Smoky Sunset 07_22_05.jpg

The valley is still pretty smoky from last nights fire. It made for a sunset with kind of different colors than we normally get. I used a 2 stop Cokin P soft graduation filter to balance the sky with the corn field. It also helped make the smoke show a little more. I used the 70-200 to compress the image a little. That mountains is about 10 or more miles away.

Outstanding! And I appreciate your explaining the use of the filter. And you did quite well getting the full tonal and color range.

Thank you for the explanation, I often look at photos like this and wonder how they are done.
Beautiful scene.
