Location
"The Painted Hills is a geologic site in Wheeler County, Oregon that is one of the three units of the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument along with Sheep Rock and Clarno. It totals 3,132 acres and is located 9 miles northwest of Mitchell, Oregon. The Painted Hills are listed as one of the Seven Wonders of Oregon. Wikipedia"Time
Taken on a late summer afternoon .Lighting
I was told at the museum that one of the best times to take pictures is late afternoon for the natural color dominance.Equipment
I used only my hand held Nikon COOLPIX P100 camera.Inspiration
I was so inspired by the geological uniqueness of the "Painted Hills"Editing
I most always do slight adjustments of light and cropping on my IMAX computor's photo program.In my camera bag
I carry no bag and only wish that my camera would take a polarizing lens.Feedback
Just enjoy the wonders of nature all around us.
