Description

When I was working in New Jersey, I traveled the NJ Turnpike for 40 miles each way. At one point I saw this roadside wildflower meadow on the right and determined to pull over and photograph it. According to my GPS the field was six miles from my destination. It took me many days to be in the right position to pull over, and finally I did. On the road shoulder I could feel the earth shake when the 18-wheelers rumbled by. But I persevered and survived. The shot was beautiful enough but I recently manipulated it using a TOPAZ filter which filled the entire frame with the meadow.

Exif: F Number: 5, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/125 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 200, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 73.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D

I love that you tell the story behind the picture as we all have put ourselves out to get that picture we want so bad, and its fun to know that we can enjoy even more what it took. Love that you got this one, the way that you filled the page with its beauty, the colors so pretty. Love that title and what a gorgeous six miles it is. Love it Michelle. #11310513
