Before the Harvest

[Brian]

Well, I guess I have to start somewhere.

This is my first post and I don't really know what I'm doing, so please bear with me.

On my way home from town the other day, I thought I'd stop and have a little session at this cornfield. Took a few shots and dashed home to see what they looked like on the computer. I was quite pleased but had a few ideas that I thought might improve them. So when I went back today, I was horrified to find the harvester had been in and cut the lot!

Not bad at all! You've got a nice simple composition, with a clear divide between sky and wheatfield, and just two contrasting colours. My only criticism is I think it's slightly over-exposed : half a stop less and you would have a greater richness of colour in the blue & gold. So I'd say you DO know what you're doing.

well that has warmed me up today  i love the idea but i agree with Chris on the exposure

Good to see you posting images Brian Not much I could add that hasn't already been said...Very unlucky about the harvester! A very good start and it shows you know a good photo opportunity when you see one

Nothing wrong with it that can't be put right with a few simple tweaks with photo editing software.

 

I agree, it's a very nice start - let's see some more.

Great first shot Brian; foreground interest nicely focused and an interesting sky!

 

 

 

 

Ooh, I feel a song coming on:

 

 I met her in the cornfield, and kissed her between the ears

Ahh, blue skies, Barley gently rustling in the slightest of breeze............

 

 

 

...and we are in the midst of winter, with what seems a permanent grey cloud bank stretched across southern england!

 

Welcome to the forum!
