Marsh Creek hillside

I took this HDR image a few days ago while driving through Brentwood. I have probably past this location 20 or 30 times and had never even noticed the rocks on the hill let alone the trees.  But I had pulled into a small side road to take a photo of the nearby ranch and saw the perfect hill for a picture.

This photo was featured this week by The Digital Visual.

HDR image shot from a tripod and a Marumi Circular Polarizer. Tamron Ultra Wide angle lens. Edited and in Aperture on the Mac.

View from each direction at the top of the bridge

Earlier in the winter I was out on a drive out near the delta and came across a very narrow road with these long water pipes (I assume they were water) running parallel with the road. At almost the end of the road we found a bridge just wide enough for a single car. This picture was taken from the top of that bridge.

I love the depth of field and the overall grungy feeling of the sky and fields.  Any other day and it would have just been an ordinary photo. Timing is everything I guess.
