The Lonely Road to the Dinosaur Dig

If you want to see how I made this (and how you can too!), visit my HDR Tutorial. I hope it gives you some new tricks!

It was an amazing week out with Jack Horner and his crew. We could not have been any more remote! Out deep in the wheat fields of Montana, we were met every morning with amazing sunrises and the evenings had these surreal sunsets.

I'll post more about the dinosaur dig, what we discovered, and all sorts of things in coming months... it was quite a trip and Jack was every bit the hero my son envisioned!

Great color, and I love the vanishing point aspect of it. Makes you want to head down that road.

This is very pretty, I love this type of sunrset. Flat land, low sun. Like being at the beach, a wheat beach i guess.
