20080812 - Rainy Days

For the Achromatic August theme.

Quicky today on the way to work. Been busy! Not a very exciting pic, but it is b&w! lol

Processing: Converted to b&w in lab mode, then made a contrast mask from the image itself to lower the overall contrast. Cropped to panoramic format... the bottom was just (even more) boring grass.

Why do sheep not shrink in the rain?

lovely scene indeed

Nothing with sheep could be dreary. Sheep are the puffy fair-weather clouds of the pasture. Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing -- less caffeine for me ;o)

Nice wide panorama.
Ian York12-Aug-2008 22:48
you have achieved some depth and separation

Pleasantly pastoral, even if it is rainy.

Very nice natural fade. Do I see John G. down there shooting the sheep ;-)
