Storm Over Sorghum

The drive back to Brisbane from our field operations is about 320km through mostly rural farmland. I was hoping to make a few stops along the way to get some shots, but since it was raining just about all the way, I only stopped once. This is a sorghum crop (one of many) about half-way between Chinchilla and Dalby. A different sorghum crop, from the other side of the road, tomorrow.

And apologies if I don't visit many other sites over the next couple of weeks. We're stuck on dial-up at home for a while. Hello 1995.

• WOW! Great lighting! Much processing?

• The lighting is excellent and so are the colours - so much mood and atmosphere!

• Hmm. This is boring. Bad lighting, composition etc. Absolutely no mood to this at all. Of course all of these things are untrue. It is wonderful. Great feel to this. Double RAW conversion? Very moodaholic feel. Great job.

• Brilliant shot . . I cannot look away from this endless expanse of green. Ace composition here, Heath.

• Very post-apocalyptic...or even pre-apocalyptic! Either way, great shot!

• I like the contrast of the colors. Great sky - powerful looking.

• Very dramatic!

• As soon as your site opened I thought it was sorghum. John and I have grown acres and acres of this years ago. This is an amazing shot. Just superb and the processing couldn't be better. Hope you make it back to 2008 soon:-)

• Ooh! Another great one - Really like the contrast to this..
  Ian @ 2008-01-12 17:39:07
• This one is really nice. Love it. Looks like you've added a different sky in here and desaturated it? Am I right, am I right???

• Btw watch out for snakes out there when you are walking through this stuff. There's browns snakes, death adders you name it.

• This looks like another one of your very popular photos! Love all the green though, especially the blurry bit up near the horizon :) The storm clouds give a very nice mood, too.
