Last weekend I headed over to the coastide to see the new kids born at Pescadero's Harley Farms.
The farm dates back to 1910, when it was founded as a cow dairy. In subsequent decades it fell into disuse. That is, until it was bought by Dee Harley in 1982. A native of Yorkshire, England, she restored the property and grew her herd from six goats all the way up to 200. This is the only working dairy in San Mateo County. They sell a variety of products in their farm store, but the main attraction is the cheese.

Lately I've been exposed (pun emphasized) to a lot of technical articles. I've noticed a lot of unacceptable noise in the shadow regions, which I've come to attribute to two factors: dynamic contrast features of the camera, combined with non-linear distribution of data in the histogram. The problem with dynamic contrast actually led me to discover the Expose to the Right technique.
If you want to capture drama in your landscapes, then go out after the rain has fallen. Clouds are key to a dramatic landscape, and they build up during a big storm.
I'm experimenting with Nik Efex 4 to see what I can accomplish . These trials with different Post-Processing techniques are proving to me that I should do more than just take the shot. I should take some time after the fact to really make it sing.
