Before the storm, a photo from Warminsko-Mazurskie, East

Photographer's Note

The last sunny moments on the field.
It was quite windy, so some of the plants are slightly blurred. Actually, I wanted to get them blurred (so that they looked like the sea waves), and even used my cheap Circular Polarizer to achieve it - because it allows/requires 2 times longer exposures (and also ruins the quality, I heard...) It did't really work ;-)
But then the sun appeared again, just for several seconds, bathing the wood and this old Warmian farm - in light.
Shot near Krokowo village / Jeziorany. This landscape is quite typical for this area.

Hello, Joanna.

Wonderful composition, perfect exposure too. I love that field of barley in the foreground, just starting to ripen in the sun - it makes a great lead-in to the house and that gorgeous sky. Excellent!

What is a CPL?

Best Wishes,

John.

Hello Joanna,
A dramatic sky is hovering over the landscape!
A lovely composition with the red roof farmhouse, and the sunlight works so well in combination eith the dark clouds...
Fine details and attractive colours, a well composed image!
Greetings,

Hi Joanna,
Nice rural landscape showing variations and under a very nice stormy light that accounts for the slightly dramatic rendering of this scene, I like it.
Have a nice evening JY

Hello,
I like this one because it's look like a painting because you choose a small time exposure.
Very good shot

OK, I liked the picture so I tried to play with the colours a little bit in the workshop. Here is the result - it is too vivid and surreal but I hope you will like it.

I like the atmosphere, it's very peaceful. I cannot even find any phone or electricity lines so from the looks of it, the picture could just as well have been taken a few hundred years ago (by time travelers I guess). Nice work!

Hi Joanna, this is a very nice picture, the intention of what you wanted to do using your polarizer in order to create a blured effect on foreground was excellent.
This compo in 2/3 1/3 works very well, very moody, colorfull, a huge sky, simple to read and effective on my mind.
A good one
PS : thanks for your WS on my picture, it's a good one, i wondered a long moment if i had to post it in BW or color :)

Hello Joanna, I like much the ambience obtained in this image, the colors and the light also they are good, perhaps the framing I had done it compensating a little the sky of clouds with the field of wheat, in any case a question of pleasures is alone.

Congratulations and see you soon.

Best Regards.

piękne Mazury! szum mi nie przeszkadza, a nawet dodaje pewnego smaczku. ideałem byłoby mocne światło słoneczne na zboża i pochmurne niebo z tyłu :) ale perspektywa świetna, gratuluję..
