As I traveled along I-25 north of Denver, I realized the landscape was spattered with these oil drills. I’m always looking for situations where there’s a juxtaposition of nature and man. Although we’re currently completely dependent on oil for transportation, energy and plastics. I hope that one day these oil drills are replaced with renewable technologies. Until then, they make for a great composition.
Today I was out on the hunt for images in preparation for my trip to the rust belt. I was looking for industrial scenes that might make good HDR (high dynamic range) images. I passed this scene earlier in the day but the light just wasn’t right. I waited here for about an hour and a half to get this shot.
When I went camping with friends this summer, this image was one that stood out to me. It was late morning and we were wandering through the woods looking for shots. I pushed my white balance to get the moody aspect of this piece. The light coming through the cold blue trees gives a conflicting feeling of warm and cold.
