With craft beer taking over the beer market and the demand for Coors and Budweiser dropping, barley fields in the Picabo, Idaho area are slowly converting to alternatives like mustard.
Picabo, Idaho Mustard
Wheel Line Motor Section
Here's an image taken near Gannett, Idaho. It's the motor section of a wheel line used for agriculture. This piece has been sitting solo since mid-October. The primary crops near Gannett and Picabo are barley and alfalfa. Certainly a symbol of anachronistic methods. Water and it's use has always been a fascinating issue for me. I will be posting all types of images related to water on this site.
I used the tilt function on the Nikon 24 pc-e lens to limit the depth of field on the two sides while maximizing the DOF in the middle part of the foreground all the way to infinity. The 24 pc-e lens is probably my favorite lens despite the manual focus.
I used Nik's Silver Effex Pro 2 to convert the RAW image to black and white. A favorite tool of mine within Silver Effex is the color filter. In the image above I selected blue to edit the sky and slightly adjusted the hue and hue strength sliders to darken the blues, ie the sky.
