If so then I think I know where Bliss was taken and in fact this may be the reason why I shot this scene. I have been looking at it for years now. To the right is a massive dairy nestled into the foothills which I have shot a lot.

I have one with the entire foreground lit. I worked up a copy but to be honest with the entire foreground lit evenly is too much of the same light and the light sky and light grass do not convey the same kind of contrast at that defining edge.

These are from a 5DII. I like this version. I like them both.

I'm sure there are a few hill pairs around. I could drive Jamieson Canyon road it's an hour away. That would be a nice day out. Bring camera. This shot was taken just outside of Nicasio in Marin county.

I really like the clouds, how it was formed and of course, the mountains. To sum it up, it's perfect! Thanks for sharing!

I think the grass needs to come up a bit. Sonoma. I know where that dairy is too. Funny though what I thought Bliss is and what it really is are vastly different in composition.
