A Misty Morning

Uploaded: January 05, 2010

Description

ExposureTime : 1/100.0Sec
FNumber : F8.0
ISOSpeedRatings : 200
FocalLength : 60.00(mm)
Edited from RAW in Lightroom
Fence used to lean on
Not cropped.

A country shot taken near Kulnura on the Central Coast by myself (~Pat) at 7am yesterday on a cloudy morning with an approaching storm. Graham parked the van to take the dogs for a walk and I looked to discover a beautiful property that ran for miles. The owner came up to the front gate saying "having a rest are you?" so I asked for her permision to take a photo.

It must have cost millions, fully fenced with wooden staining, not like the usual barbed wire we see.... the paddocks were green and lush with trees, not Australian Gum but Liquid Ambers, it was like we were in another land like England, not hot and humid like where we live. Thank you for looking. ~Pat

Hope you enjoyed my shot, I was practising composition so deleted all but a few thinking that I would use Grahams. After looking at them he had been fiddling with his settings so I decided mine were better for once LOL hehe>

How beautiful and peaceful looking Big Sis. I wish I could close my eyes and open them and I'd be there to really spend family time with you! This would be a wonderful place to be!

Great job!

Bad luck about the mailbox EH? #8272403

LOL after meeting you and Margaret John how could I not get up at that time of day.


I must admit only two or three times a week though. Yesterday I was up at 5 am and we hit the road at 6.

We got bogged too, how exciting was that so I had to help Graham dig us out LOL! And I directed the odd car around us as it was a narrow road.

Shame about the mailbox, it was the Vets LOL. Thank you for your kind words! ~Pat #8272564

Thank you so very much for your words of encouragement Karen, Lorraine Ellen Amy and Avril!

Is is such a pretty little place, I deleted a lot of nicer shots than this I think but they would have needed editing and it wasn't the purpose of why we went there.

Lorraine, it sounds so bittlery cold where you are, take care of yourself my dear and keep warm!
