Spring Burn

The wind and the weather were just right for burning off pasture today, so that is what we did. It's a time-consuming process, with a lot of time spent just watching and waiting, to make sure it doesn't get out of control, or burn something that you don't want burned. And with our track record where fires are concerned lately, we were not taking any chances. So of course I brought along my camera to help me pass the time and keep me entertained during the boring parts.
Some of these photos look a little extreme - that's because I've been playing with my new Topaz Adjust filter for Photoshop. As you can see, it can add some pretty WOW effects.

  3. Wow, Lou! These are so cool--I love the glimpse of country life we get through your photos. That Topaz Adjust really wow-ed these up. Love the shot down the barbed wire fence, with the burned area in the background. And the cow--holy smokes! The texture of its coat is amazing.
