[71.365] Winter in Winters

I drove out to Solano Lake Park and they were closed. I was so disappointed, I've been needing to drive out here for a long time and I couldn't even go in because everything was locked down. So totally strange. I swear, it's moments like that which make me look at the irony in my life and question what the heck the deal is. I decided to keep driving towards a little town called Winters. No point in driving 15 miles out here if I wasn't going to check out something new. On the way I passed by this amazing field of trees and had to stop in. I know these little Cherry Blossom flowers are so overdone but they catch my attention on every single Explore picture. They captivate me, and smell AMAZING. I tried out some different poses today and played with some lighting as the sun went down. It just goes to show you, good things come to those who wait!

Explored?! THANKS EVERYONE!

    Great shot! Good symmetry, good textures. Good colors. Good lighting. Good subject. Just a darn good image.

    Thank you!! The saturation is pretty bumped up, but with the sunsetting I think it sets a good tone. You should have seen me running in these boots, 2 inch heels kept sinking in the damn MUD...

  4. Jeff Blazer [deleted] (51 months ago | reply)

    Did you use a special filter to edit this with? Like Lucis or Topaz? It has that look.

  5. @_natashaleigh (51 months ago | reply)

    No, just CS4 and shooting RAW. Seriously, shooting in RAW gives me so much more control. My computer hates me...

  6. @_natashaleigh (51 months ago | reply)

    Hehe, thanks!!

  7. Jeff Blazer [deleted] (51 months ago | reply)

    Well it looks really good. I can practically feel that grass! And yes, nice boots.

    This title just doesn't work for me...sorry...something about the word winter and you being in a T-Shirt it just doesn't go...I will show you winter when you get here...LOL...

    seriously though I think this shot it pretty cool :)

    I walked out without the polarizer filter for this brand new lens...but it seems as though I didn't need it.

    You're lucky I love you. I fully plan on wrestling with you in the snow. So, make sure I have something warm laid out :P

    Beautiful shot Tasha! Enjoy your leave. I know this is going to be a well deserved break from eveything that's been going on. Maybe seeing your BFF will lower your stress level. =)

    Tash, you have an interesting effect going on here. it almost looks like you pasted yourself into the shot! what did you do? this looks like a very cool place for a future portrait session! :)
    and what is up with those boots? haha
    once again a very nice exposure. It looks like you used a polarizer, but I know you didn't. love the pose, I would love to see some of the out takes!

    I love you and only one day left to go...You know me I don't count the current day or the day you arrive...hehehehe

  24. @_natashaleigh (51 months ago | reply)

    I know these tree blossoms aren't going to last long, I think I'm going to post a few outtakes!!

    Thank you for the add requests =) They've been added to your group.

    Thank you!

    Haha, should have known ...

    You should!! The flowers don't last long!!!

    I noticed it did look a bit like cut and paste, but I think it was because I bumped up the clarity? So the lines are a bit harsher around me and everything else? I have no idea. Did it sound like I knew what I was talking about??

    Thanks!!!

    Thank you very much, the area really makes the shot for sure!!

    Haha you are SOOO funny! AND YEAH!!!

    Did I miss anyone? Thanks to everyone who checked out the picture! It was a fun shoot!! =D
