The Things I See
It's the glow
Posted by Craig (Vacaville, California, United States) on 27 February 2007 in Landscape & Rural.
I asked my family to stop the truck so I could take this photograph. They said, "What are you taking a picture of...there is nothing there." I said, "It's the glow .... can't you see the glow."? ... Silence fell....

I'm glad you did that. It's a pity we miss all the beautiful scenes that must be seen. You are one of those photographers that captures them for the people, and I salute you, I really do.

You're right, there is a certain glow to it. Great job in seizing the moment, and the shot

Oh yes, there's a glow all right! Glad you managed to stop them - I have a family who are also inclined to laugh and wonder about my obsession with 'that thing' - 'what thing?' - 'that thing' - 'oh'.
Fabulous image, looks like a wonderful soft carpet..

Sharp eye Craiger! The real test of any image is that elicits emotion - you were moved by the glow and captured it nicely! Well done y friend!

Great depth of field, and yes, it is a great scene. Curious to know the family's reaction to the results?

I agree with the others about the glow. I do notice a bright spot at the top left. Almost looks like the sun is reflecting off the dirt and brush. Nicely done Craiger.

That's why you take the pictures and they do the driving. A fantastic and warm shot.

You are very good at glow. You've captured it a few times and recently in Death Valley. You have a good eye. Keep it up Craiger!

What time of day was this? I see the warm glow that you're talking about, which tends to happen morning or afternoon.

@Michael Zhang: It was late afternoon.

Thank you for seeing, capturing and bringing us "the glow".
It's a marvelous image.
