Working the fields

[ScoutR]

I couldn't get as close as I would have liked, but here are a few shots of the old fashioned method of working the fields.
All taken with Nikon D3000 & 18-200mm lens

#1 Heading Home after a hard (and putrid) day spreading fertilizer: 1/4000s: f5.6: ISO 800: 200mm


#2 Fall Scene: 1/2000: f5.6: ISO 800: 200mm


#3 In the lane and starting to perk up - 1/3200: f5.6: ISO 800: 200mm


#4 Seagulls Leaving: 1/500s: f9: ISO 400: 200mm

Seagulls flee after being chased away by driver

#5 They're Back: 1/400s: f9: ISO 400: 200mm

In approx half hour the seagulls were chased away about 10 times only to return a few minutes later. When I looked behind me I could see more on the way. Little specks in the sky as far as I could see.

C&C welcome as always

Hi Radu,

Did you do HDR on this photo?

All look terrific Wendy - but #4 leaps out as my favourite as well -I like it with the muted tones though as you have it.
I think Radu's conversion style would really suit #2 though

Hi, Wendy, these photos are lovely! The farmer and the birds sounds like quite a story. Wouldn't it make a great children's book? #2 and #3 are my personal favorites but I have noooooo idea why. Anyway, I really just wanted to know what part of Canada you're from. I don't want to invade your privacy, though. However, are you near the coast, then, I wonder?

[ScoutR]

Thanks Katy, I'm just North (and a little west I think) from you in Ontario. A few hours from Toronto.

Radu: Thanks for the Rework, you are a master at this. It's a style that has to grow on you, but it is unique and I like it.

Thanks Kay, I think I would have liked them all a lot better it I could have been closer. These are heavily cropped, but I thought they still showed the scence even if they are not all that detailed.
