Classic New Zealand - (Count the Sheep)
Explore #274, Feb 17th, 2009
About
OK, my previous post, seen here, could have been taken almost anywhere. Trust me it was taken in New Zealand ;)
Anyhow, after reading the comments from my previous post I thought I needed to post something very 'classic New Zealand' so here is a barn on the side of the road, complete with a few sheep.
Try and count the sheep!
Now, some of you might say, 'Cant you get closer to the sheep....' well you you can, but you'll just have to wait for those shots ;)
Enjoy....

Dylan Toh (52 months ago | reply)
I don't know why people associate sheep with NZ only - dont we aussies have a ton roaming around ? :P
Great shot though - love the layers of interest throughout
Matthew Stewart | Photographer (52 months ago | reply)
What is that giant hole in the foreground? Nice capture.
Matthew Stewart | Photographer (52 months ago | reply)
Viewing large is definitely cool, so much to see in both the background and foreground.

I won't count the sheep, or i'll might just fall asleep. They're hiding for a reason :) Gorgeous sky and greens!
Vincent Sielhorst (52 months ago | reply)
Nice shot, the house is a little underlit though, for the rest its an amazing image.
IMAC- (52 months ago | reply)
Nice, maybe a bit dark the house, but the rest ok ;)
guillephil (52 months ago | reply)
Beautiful shot !
It´s amazing while others use the latest sofware, you are getting better results with older or simpler software. I really like your technique !
[ Kane ] (52 months ago | reply)
guillephil Yeah, the older software works a treat........... I only use the basics, colour, contrast, WB etc etc
Matt You might be right, I've not counted, but good work finding the one on the left.
Flicts Thanks.

Another lovely scene from Un-Zed.
The pole upon the ground adds to the DOF. Nice work!
I really like the colour of the house too.
