"MORNING SHOTS IN GOLDEN HOUR" - Rural landscape photography from Montalbán Carabobo, Venezuela

tcats.jpg


I could get addicted to coming every morning to this rural corner located just two miles from my home, this is an ideal place to take pictures and that is especially true in these first months of the dry season. In fact, when I come here, I often ask myself things like: How is it possible that there are not more people here at this time looking at this landscape?...

However, this place will only be like this for a few more days. It is almost sure that the landowners will burn the dry grassland so that new shoots can grow. This is a very backward and environmentally and soil-aggressive practice. But unfortunately there seems to be no way for the local landowners to break with this practice inherited from their ancestors...

Regardless of what happens in the next few days in these savannas, I think I will be coming back more often to take pictures. Besides, this is something I need to do, because I suffer from fibromyalgia since I was 34 years old and one of the things that keeps me away from the symptomatic crises are long walks, yoga and meditation. So taking advantage of these places to take photographs has a double benefit for me.

Black & white versions

As I said in my previous post on photographic rural landscaping, seems to me that it is always a bit complicated to edit photos of rural landscapes for black and white versions. It usually can't be done directly from the resulting JPG in colour, because when desaturating the image using almost any method, it is common to generate overexposed white areas. So what I did this time was to under-expose the JPGs in colour, vignette a bit, and then desaturate and adjust levels. I find that it can avoid most of the overexposure that would have occurred without doing those steps... So here I have for you the monochrome versions and I hope you like them too!

ADDITIONAL TECHNICAL NOTE: Photographs captured with my Nikon D7000 DSLR camera in RAW format, then processed in Adobe Camera RAW for adjustments regarding light, sharpening, contrast and depth... The shots are then exported to JGP format on which minor modifications such as straightening and adding watermarks were carried out using PhotoScape 3.6.3.


Thank you very much for your visit and appreciation!

Hola amigo @jlinaresp Me gusta especialmente esta foto, los árboles tienen una curiosa forma aplanada en la parte superior. No existe ninguna especie de árbol como este en mi país. Tus fotos en blanco y negro también son muy bonitas. ¡Bravo por este trabajo profesional!

Hello @cyboule friend, thank you for visiting and commenting!... These are trees commonly called here "Samán" and their scientific name is Samanea saman... They usually have beautiful crown shapes with a lot of foliage, but in these dry months they tend to lose their leaves and they look like this!... They are very common in our valleys and plains...
