Harvested cornfield.
Creativity inevitably challenges accepted norms and conventions. So it was with this image for Smile on Saturday’s Fields and Meadows.
And now I feel guilty because, of course, the last paragraph was a complete subterfuge on my part, a deceit to make me look good :)
The reality is more humiliating. I only had a short time on the way back from a breakfast meeting this morning to pause the car and take some images so I could at least contribute something to this, one of my favourite groups.
Faced with very mundane field views and getting nearer home, desperation sang its strident tune. I thought I would try and tilt the camera and get a strong diagonal into the corner of the frame. This was the best I managed (a notable fail for the corner diagonal then!).
To be fair, way back reading a photography composition book I had questioned why we always have the horizon horizontal (I guess it’s to do with the language lol). It’s one thing, though, to ask a question and quite another to come up with a decent answer…
Anyway, something different gilding a toad :)
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Smile on Saturday :)
red clover is planted as a forage crop in dry areas and has traditional medicinal uses, some not proven.
A different edit from the same series of low-level Song sparrow photos from a few months ago (In fact, if I recall this is the exact next frame from the previous). I had no intentions of catching the movement, but I do enjoy how the slow shutter-speed blurred the wing.

To photograph is to hold one's breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It's at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Yesterday, Chuck Gerber posted a photo of invasive mustard that covered the hills near Lompoc, California and it triggered a discussion on the similarities to rapeseed and canola. Today, Linda and I photographed this canola crop at Paris, Idaho which I think is an interesting contrast with Chuck's mustard photo. After a little research it turns out that the three plants are in the same family but are not quite identical. This view includes Paris Peak on the left and (I think) Midnight Mountain on the right. Chuck's post is in the first comment.
Same trees as yesterday, with varying subject placement and crop. Birds don't generally give framing options, so it's nice to find a subject that allows exploration of placement. TBH, I think that all of these are attractive options.

This view can be seen just after the turn off the Princes Highway when heading to Akolele and Wallaga Lake on the Bermagui Road and opposite the highway from Central Tilba, and Tilba Tilba. The sea is not far away and just out of this scene. This part of the coast is not renowned for cropping but is undertaken where the conditions permit. The year has been far below average rainfall but it looks like this valley has received rain at the right time or has irrigation. Near Bermagui on the Far South Coast of NSW.
