Sessions Hill Road is dirt road running through a lot of farm land in Homer, NY. It's really beautiful up there. I took a short drive through it in my truck last winter.

Anyhoo... I got my new lens today, a Sigma 10-20mm, and was itching to try it out. So, I took a trip up Sessions Hill Rd and the several other dirt roads in that area. Here's what I brought home with me.













I had a real hard time keeping my shadow out of those pictures!

Those are perfect! The sky looks almost unreal.

The top picture, the clouds have been well caught radiating out from the tree. The bottom one is the most dynamic of all with three different clouds all paralelling the line of the road, well seen, you should print these big, frame them, and make a triptych of them on your wall.

Thank you. I didn't see the clouds when I was framing my shots. I was more concerned about getting the trees and the road placed well. I always forget to look at everything when shooting something. I didn't even notice the clouds radiating from the tree in the first one. If I had seen that, I might have moved a little to the right to center the clouds a little better over the tree.

Interesting idea about the triptych. I'll have to give it some thought. I haven't made any prints from my photos yet. I'd like to though. I just haven't gotten around to it.

Thanks ScottyBoy. The clouds in the last one look photoshopped in to me. They're not though. I might go back to the RAW file and see if there's a better way to render the photos.
