An early morning view of a patch of grass with dew droplets in a pasture near Charlottesville, VA. This photograph captured in October, 1999 was taken by Jim Epler during the fall in Charlottesville, VA in the countryside. It is cataloged under the terms nature, countryside views, twilight scenes and rural scenes in this photography database.
The image was exposed on 35mm Kodak Tri-X 400 black & white film stock using a Pentax Asahi Spotmatic II camera with a Asahi Pentax 135mm f/2.5 lens.
Photographer Comments: The light was stunning the morning I snapped this photograph. There was a slight mist rising off the pasture; an absolutely perfect sunrise in the country. Although intersting, I don't really feel the photograph adequately captured the scene as I had experienced it. Again, I wish I had a more powerful telephoto lens to better capture the droplets of dew on the blades of grass. I probably could have eliminated the lens flare if I had a lens hood at the time, and use of a blue filter might have accentuated more of the fog and mist in the field. I remember hurrying stop the Trooper and set up my tripod as fast as possible so as to not lose the light, and being upset because I thought I missed the moment.
