I guess we're just too developed, even in this otherwise very rural area. I only knew of one unpaved surface, a long unused dirt road that goes by a dilapidated and decaying old barn about 5 miles from my house. But I've never been during the full foliage of summer, so I had no idea how little of the road was visible then. I mean, I literally could not find the road at all once I got past the barn, and that was the portion I wanted to photography because it winds through a beautiful meadow with a sheer series of hills in the background. Oh well, ya works with what ya got, right?I don't know though. None of these really grab my interest that much. But I did try something new - I watched a video on Image Averaging, a technique apparently used by astrophotographers but now is becoming of interest to landscape shooters. Three of these pics are processed with that method, and looking at them side by side with the originals in Lightroom it does look like it makes a difference, albeit not a dramatic one. But that may be my fault, as I only averaged 5 photos and the video called for 10. Which I forgot.Oh, and I also lost approximately 3 pints of blood while I was out there. I think the state's entire mosquito population decided to hold their convention there this weekend, and I apparently was the buffet. The things I do to get the shot....[ATTACH=full]363365[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]363366[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]363368[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]363369[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]363370[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
