Here is another "heavily" post processed shot taken out where the San
Andreas Fault Line cuts through the Carrizo Plain, and California Hwy
58 crosses it.

I've got to believe I've seen that stretch of road in many, many
movies.

Nicely done.


Thanks.

That is California Hwy 58. I don't know about being a location for many
movies, but I am sure that is possible, as it is reasonably accessible
and could definitely be evocative of a stretch of desolate highway.

The shot is GPS geotagged and that is embedded in the EXIF meta data.
So you can post these coordinates into Google maps to show the spot I
shot from. Then zoom out to see were that is in relation to better
known California locations.

The Google street view makes it look much less dramatic.


Thus the effect of Google's wide-angle lens.

Not reading the EXIF Data of Duck's lens, I would guess it to be a deep
telephoto/zoom. The sheer compression appears to make it so dramatic, much
like that of a baseball game from behind home plate where the centerfielder
seems as large as the pitcher, for example.
