Day Dreamin'

Description

Taken on a gorgeous day in Westville, OK! F5.6, 200 ISO, 1/500 sec, using my monopod. I hope you all like this one, because I broke out in hives from whatever I was standing in to get this shot! LOL!

It reminds me of a postcard. Very nicely done. Sorry to hear you had to suffer for the shot. #113501

Janice Forrest April 02, 2004

Very nice. I really like it. The sky is so beautiful. #459609

Joy Brown April 02, 2004

Beautiful image, Dale - worth the welts!!! (easy for me to say!) #459637

Dale Ann Cubbage April 02, 2004

Thanks Janice & Joy! Yeah, I think it was worth it! I like the picture! I forgot to mention earlier, I think I did a little color adjustment in PS7, I don't exactty remember what I did. #459650

Dale Ann Cubbage April 02, 2004

Marcie, I'm so sorry I missed you! Thanks so much for your wonderul comment! :) #459653

Kelly Abernathy April 02, 2004

Beautiful! Makes me miss Oklahoma at this time of year! Love the shot. But, maybe the hives are from thinking too hard about that rock the other day? :) -K #459680

Carolyn M. Fletcher April 02, 2004

Oh, oh, oh this is wonderful!!! Worth every itch!! GREAT!!! Love that sky! #459696

Susan T. Parady April 02, 2004

Excellent composition. I love the lone tree against that beautiful sky! #459734

Stephen Zacker April 02, 2004

It was worth the hives in my opinion Dale Ann. :-) Love that lone tree against the blue sky. The clouds are great! #459780

Jessica Hughes April 02, 2004

This is beautiful Dale Ann! I live in OK. So tell me, how long did it take for the weather to change? Ha!
Jessica #459873

Dale Ann Cubbage April 02, 2004

Thanks so much Susan, Stephen & Jessica! I really appreciate your comments!

Jessica, what part of Oklahoma do you live? And as you know, it didn't take long! This particular day stayed sunny most of the time! We've been having some wonderful cloud shows lately though! Yesterday, there wasn't a cloud in the sky! #459898

Jessica Hughes April 02, 2004

Hi Dale Ann.
I live in Lawton, OK. We just moved here about 9 months ago from Corpus Christi, TX.
Jessica #459971

Dale Ann Cubbage April 02, 2004

Jessica, I've never been there, but I've seen the sign on our way to Ok City with our youth group. I'm actually from Kansas City, I've been here for 4 1/2 years. Small town America has it's advantages, and it does grow on you!

Alisha May Furbish April 02, 2004

Beautiful vast space pulled together by the tree and clouds- very peaceful photo, great work- Calamine lotion should be in every photographer's bag:) #459992

Dale Ann Cubbage April 02, 2004

Thanks Alisha! Yeah I learned that the hard way, twice! Yesterday I rested my arm on a metal/painted fence and broke out in some itchy weird rash! I washed it and put some Aveeno on it, and it eventually went away! I think I need to carry some bug spray too, I'm so phobic of bugs! But I've been trying to ignore them for the photo op! #460013

Karen Bacon April 02, 2004

Do you think you could straighten those clouds out a bit?....
JUST KIDDING! This is beautiful, Dale Ann.
Sounds like you should pack Benadryl with your photo gear! And maybe an EPI pen too, if you are sensitive to lots of stuff :) ...Dr. Smith #540702

Amanda E. Radovic May 16, 2004

Congratulations - I love this, that beautiful sky!! Does the weather change frequently in OK? It does in Melbourne too - have to dress in layers as you don't know what the weather will be like in a couple of hours!! Temperatures can halve in 12 mins from stinking hot to raining and cold!! You deserve to be a finalist - fingers crossed for you to get a placing...good luck. #543807

Dale Ann Cubbage May 16, 2004

Thanks so much Amanda! I appreciate it! Yes, the weather can be very moody here! Yesterday it was cool, so we wore long sleeves and three hours later we were sweating! You never know!
