In the Hills ;-) of Norfolk

Just back from a nice drive through the lovely countryside of Norfolk. Although the weather forecast wasn't that good I give it a try and drove from Norwich to Cromer at the North-East coast and had the plan to drive along the coast way up to Hunstanton. An unpleasant surprise was a heavy shower it was really raining cats and dogs as they say in Good O’ll England :-) Anyway I had looked on the weather radar and it could only be a "shower", well it was, very isolated and very wet, but I was in my car, so no problem :-)

After half an hour driving to the north the weather soon cleared and a magnificent cloud sky appeared over the Norfolk landscape and this is one of the many shots I took this afternoon.

Hope you enjoy the Norfolk hills as much as I do.

This is a beautiful picture Hans. The composition is great and the colors are excellent. I love the contrast of the field against the vivid blue sky. The clouds look great. Nice work.

Kevin

Hi Hans,

Ha Ha......great title.....I suppose it is slightly hillier than your homeland!

Great compo, like the lead in lines and the fluffy cumulus clouds. Nice scene, well seen...

TFS,

John

What magnificent scenery and color Hans!
Love the tire tracks off to the right.
and the lines that extend diagonally across the fields.
Hope you don't mind, I wanted to see what it would look like
with just a minor levels adjustment?
Other than that it's a perfect landscape!
Well done.
- Vincent

Hi Hans,I like your capture of this landscape with its many colors & beautiful sky.The S curve of a vehicles pathway through the grasses leads us into the scene & wondering where they end. The image is a little dark on my screen,so hope you don't mind have lightened it up a tad a & posted to your workshop.Oops,sorry Vincent did not read your notes before posting mine,sorry.

Bonjour Hans,
Une scène rurale appaisante, un instant de tranquilité bien appréciable. j'aime beaucoup ce chemin qui nous guide vers le paysage, et cette gestion de couleurs qui nous offre une différence entre le ciel et le champs.
Bonne journée

Hello Hans,
And so you did not stay in England for Wimbledon. Your Norfolk hills series is a delight to view. I can't skip this image without a critique/comment as it is so strikingly beautiful and well composed. I have no complains, just full of admiration. Best regards, Danilo

Great composition with grand lead-in lines

A lovely English countryside. Your compo is good Hans, with the track through the grass leading us to the trees in the BG and then over to the hill with those wonderful clouds in the blue sky above.
The colours look a little dark to me - that would be the polariser I think - maybe?
It sounds like it was a good drive in the countryside for you
Janice

Hi Hans,
Spectacular view and landscape. Well composed and presented.
I agree, as others do, that it's a little but under exposed, and thereby missing some of the obvious beauty but the two current WS tell the tale better than I can here.
Good work on the shot,
TFS,
Wilt

Great shot Hans, good use of thirds with the track on the right.

Regards Mark :)

No a tripod was used on the Orchid.

Love the road in this Hans! Nice details, love the sky here! The off center road just takes me back through the shot! EXcellent work!

Great composition - a classic landscape shot. Exposure in the clouds is spot on, but the fields look a little dark - it was probably the altitude you were at which affected your eye for the light ;-)
Thanks for sharing
Mark

Hiya Hansie

Oh my goodness this is wonderful. All nice and sharp with good contrast and detail. The saturdation is superb here and I like the lead through the image with the set aside tracks along the edge of the field. Lovely work my friend

TFS regards Helen

Hi Hans,
I like the use of tyre track to lead viewers eye through the photo. Nice layers/gradation of greens, complemented with beautiful clouds formation and blue sky. Very nice scenery.
Regards,
Ramdan.

Superb sky and scenery Hans! This may look as a common sight but seeing it through your eyes and the way you present it... it's quite something else! Great job! Congratulations!
Best regards,
Diana
p.s. Thank you! :)

Hello Hansie :o)

Sorry for not being often there this time :o(((
I don't forget you...
Great capture, this landscape is full of movement, nice colours and great light ...
It's not prudent to drive and shoot ;o)
Good job as usual my dear Hansie !
Bisous de Colorline ;)

Hahaha, grappig hoor! Platter kan het niet! Lijkt bijna Nederlands, maar daar is het dan toch nog te heuvelachtig voor :-))).

Groeten, Dennis
