Fields

Photography session 2. 29-01-2020

About a week later the rain had finally stopped long enough for me to nip out again.  This time the photographs were literally taken within one square mile. It was late in the afternoon and the sun was close to setting which created interesting shadows and there was a little bit of cloud around.  

This is my real square mile; field after field after field …

I took the camera off auto so that I could have more control.  Still no real idea of what I should be taking pictures of, so I snapped away at things that I found intriguing. The sheeps wool snagged in the barbed wire caught my eye; I loved the way the sun refelcted of the wire and how the wool glowed. The other two photographs I took because it showed the vast emptiness of the area and echo’s the feeling I have sometimes of being cast adrift in a sea of grass.

I can’t say there is any real technical skill being displayed here. Apart from having to remove a flaw in the camera which leaves two faint spots on the images, they haven’t been photoshoped. However, when I was removing the spots from the ‘View across the county‘ I did notice that if I cropped the sky away it gave quite a different perspective and concentrated your eye on the foreground. The light streaks across the image are from overhead wires which stretch out across the valley.
