Gathering in

[tb2]

Today it's raining and combining has stopped. The day before yesterday it was all systems go!

The clouds are fantastic. They almost look 3D, like they're leaping off the screen at me. Then the red of the combine adds a nice amount of colour to the foreground of the shot. There's a real sense of 'depth' to the photo. Love it.


(I have sat and looked at this for a full two minutes. Much longer than I look at most photos. It really grabs me)

Thanks Antarctican. I went out to shoot this image for two reasons - I saw the fantastic sky (the cloud lighting looked 3D in reality, and that quality transferred to the image), and I'd been promised a ride in that combine harvester by the farmer who owns it. So, after shooting this shot I got a few from in the cab. It was a fun afternoon, but very hot, very dusty, and lots of little black flies about.

Regards, Tony

Hey, what a blast to be able to go for a 'spin' in the combine!



[I just went and read your blog entry for this photo. So informative!]

Beautiful shot. The sky is breathtaking.

My thoughts exactly.

Was this shot using a polarising filter?

 

[tb2]

Thanks folks. No polariser on this one Invisible. I exposed the shot for the sky, then brought up the too dark ground and combine. A slight tweak of curves thereafter.
