Turner Falls.

October 16, 2010

One of those blah de blah nature pictures from my Turner Falls trip. What I really like about this one is the reflection, the amount of color in it. In the immortal words of Stan Brakage, "Imagine an eye unruled by man-made laws of perspective... How many colors are there in a field of grass to the crawling baby unaware of 'Green'? ...Imagine a world before the 'beginning was the word'." (I write a lot about that whole idea right here) If you sit and stare at it, just stare, the color most common in it is white. But if you glance at it, it's green.

Either way, it's pretty much a post card. Love you forever, D80 and how easy you make taking photos. Once again, this is the part of Oklahoma you don't think about if you don't know. But there is so much water here. It's so stupid humid in the summer because of it, it feels like New Jersey. Once again, shit you don't expect unless you've been here. The dust bowl's over, you guys.

(Taken with a Nikon D-80, 18-135mm AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor Lens. Exposure 1/125, Aperture f/5.0. Once again, bright day. Color balance is auto'd in Photoshop.)
