Canola Field

I just got home today - spent last night in a small Alberta town three hours from home. There were so many of these fields on the way to and from. I really like the way these expansive fields of yellow look, so decided to take a picture.

Originally this shot had a very overexposed sky, but a few days ago I learned a new "trick" (thanks to Scott Kelby) to fix the problem and darken only the top sky portion. Probably an easy skill for many, but I was pretty excited!

*I still have a few pictures to edit and upload (July 15th and 16th) and then will have time to catch up on viewing and commenting - I hate when I get behind. Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

Love, love canola fields. The only field that is better is flax. Ideally, a landscape is composed of both in a checker pattern!

Great shot Lauren. I know exactly what you mean. I took one of a canola field today. I was driving back home from Red Deer with stops in Withro and Bentley. The landscape is so wonderful this time of year

Great shot! I LOVE canola fields too!!! ESPECIALLY on stormy days when the sky is dark yet the sun is shining brightly on the yellow making it look like a sheet of lights!!!

[Camille Bisson]

this is so pretty! beautiful landscape. so, how do you darken just the sky and not the entire photo?

[simon peter thorne]

Fantastic shot lauren I like the blue sky & yellow. Also the fence posts, wires & crossmembers seem to lead me into the picture - nice one :)

[Matt Clendon]

It does look endless. There's something very satisfying about viewing an expansive field of colour gently swaying.

[Anita]

Lovely, sunny pic :)

[Sean]

Love how the yellow just goes on and on. Great shot!

[Miley]

Lovely lonely looking field. Great shot.

@catsmeowb sorry Camille i just noticed you asked a question here, i've gotten so behind on replying to comments and feel bad! i darkened just the sky by using the Gradient feature in photoshop elements.
