Rape Field

An Oil Seed Rape field photographed early yesterday morning.

 

This field of oil seed rape is just outside my home-town of Barton-upon-Humber and I'd photographed it in the evening recently but wanted to see what it was like in the morning.

 

The sun was rising to my left and I composed with it just out of frame so I could keep detail in the sky without the highlights blowing out. Luckily the sky was quite interesting, with some lovely cloud.

 

I like this location with the track and hedge leading off into the distance.

 

There was a slight breeze so I used an ISO of 400 to help with shutter speeds as I didn't want the rape to be blurred.
