You know that image that you have been imagining for weeks, maybe years. It isn’t that it is too terribly difficult to capture, but life has just gotten in the way.

As graduation draws near signaling the end of my time in the Walla Walla Valley, I wanted to capture the wheat fields that are so striking in the spring.

The first image has (believe it or not) very little in the way of post-processing. Most of the deep blue sky effect comes from a healthy amount of polarization at the end of my lens.

The second image is highly processed. It is my first attempt at High Dynamic Range photography. This one has a 8 stop dynamic range.
