Canola Sunrise, Lacombe, Alberta

(click image to see on black)

This week's image comes from Lacombe, Alberta! While I've never lived in this small town, I must know at least half of the residences :). At my time in university I came to know quite a few families from this small town situated between Edmonton and Calgary and I always make it a point to stop in for a visit. And as you can see, Lacombe doesn't just have great friends that make it a great overnight spot, there are some great photography opportunities as well. This was taken in the summer of 2011 when the canola fields were out in full force. I love the vibrant yellows that dominate the landscape during this time.

This shot was taken at sunrise just off of highway 792(?). The f-stop was taken right up to 22 in order to maximize the sunstar, 2 exposures were blended in photoshop in order to save detail in the foreground.
