Oats after rain H 1153_035 crop
Last year I took a lot of photos of barley; this year, there seem to be many fields of oats, so a different subject. Only 15 min walk from my home.
I like how the rain drops are held.
If zoom in, you can see upside down image of field beyond in raindrop.
I like to use large aperture eg f/4 on 180 mm prime lens to soften background, but means that not much of the oat is in focus., so more to achieve a feel rather than close up detail.
taken with c.1995 Nikkor 180 mm f/2.8
