Wind Blowing Across A Wheat Field In Mazandaran, Iran - Limited Edition of 25 Photograph

I had been living in Iran off and on for a few years in 2007-2009, hoping to make a documentary film about an Iranian school. In the midst of location-scouting this documentary I moved into a small village in northern Iran called Pul - which actually means "money" in Farsi. Most of the people living there are historically Kurdish and other groups - a really interesting community, all living in village farm houses on the side of a hill abutting the agricultural fields of a valley in the Alborz Mountains, which run like a crescent around the northern lip of Iran as it meets the Caspian Sea. Honestly, it was one of the most beautiful places I have ever lived, and my neighbors in the village were all wonderful. This field is just down hill from the small house where I lived in Pul. In the spring of 2009 I was out photographing landscapes as a small storm blew through, and I caught this nice moment where the wind just starts to blow down across a still wheat field. I had that moment when you know the time is right to make a photograph, and took it. The air was so fresh and the bluster of the storm brought in a rush of negative ions that was quite intoxicating. Technical: I tried several times, using bracketed exposures to capture the full dynamic range of the scene, and caught it at the right moment by chance. I like to photograph everything hand-held for the spontaneity - including landscape photography. This photograph was taken with a Canon 1Ds Mark II, which was the first DSLR that could really take beautiful pictures that competed with film-based images. The lens is a Canon 16-35mm, set to 16mm to give an immersive, walk-in feel to the image. I wanted to have the sensation of being able to step through, to feel the elements - so I wanted it to look wide enough to resemble human vision, and I adjusted the color to give the strongest sense of presence and muted realism from the print.
