When the farmer calls

When The Farmer Calls by Campbell Mattinson. Copyright.

Image title is 'when the farmer calls' by Campbell Mattinson. It's a picture of cows running over a hill in dusty, grassy terrain near Wangaratta in north-east Victoria. This photogra was taken in my first six weeks as an avid photographer, in March 2018. I’ve played around with this image over the years and while there’s a “colour grade” applied here, there’s nothing else been done to the image other than some minor cropping. I’ve definitely processed this a lot heavier in the past but the image is better without it. I’m still tempted to dodge and burn it though (grin).
