Yellow Dash Road

by Peter Apers
(Rio Rancho, NM, USA)

Visiting Florida some time ago I came upon this road somewhere south of Tampa bay. It leads to the beach and I remember being struck by the red and yellow dashes on the asphalt. The Nikon F3 was loaded with my film of choice Kodak Chrome 64. I sensed there was an image here for the taking and so the story goes. I double stacked 2 linear polarizing filters to darken the blue sky and saturate the colors, a tripod and careful exposure resulted in this image. The silhouette of the trees was caused by under exposure of the shadows.

Feedback:
Great effort and in particular the clever use of lines as a compositional technique to create a lead-in effect for the eye to the silhouette of the trees.
