I'd decided yesterday whilst driving back from Arran that, if the light was good, I would try and get a shot of the fields near home as they look particularly good at this time of year. That was my intention but when I got home I couldn't really be bothered so I opted to leave it for another day. Anyway I kicked myself later on because the light was great and I was still sat at home. Feeling pretty sure that I'd missed the best of it, I headed out with my camera to explore a few locations for future images. At that stage I realised I hadn't left it too late and managed to get this shot just down the road from my house.

I long ago posted a couple images from this shoot in 2010, now was needing to find the original files back and could not resist posting another.

It's harvest time in the Laurel Valley. Clouds of dust rise in the distance from a farmer working his field. .

I took this last week, on a very rare day when it wasn't raining. I've not really done many sunsets, so this was all trial and error. It's actually a HDR from 3 exposures, something I very rarely do either.
Only thing i'm not happy about is the banding around the sun, which is called the fried egg effect from some forums i've been reading. Not really sure how you avoid it, but this will have to do for the time being. Hope you like it.

Ilford Pan 100 120 film (discontinued) expired in 2005. Developed in LC29 (1+19 8min 20deg)
Exposed this roll at ISO 50, because of the expiration, but the negative turned out to be a bit dark, next time I'm gonna expose it to 100 or develop it only 6-7min.

Dive under the sea, submarine into the deep
Nigh field of dreams, beyond the trees, awakening
Crying oh, set me free, set me free, set me free
Oh, set me free, set me free, set me free
I'm waiting
Bluebird yonder sees a thousand dreams
yet to be
And I can't hear anything, cause it's a silent song
he's singing
Oh, set me free, set me free, set me free
Oh, set me free, set me free, set me free
I'm waiting

On a drive through the Mackinaw river valley, just west of Bloomington, I came across this pretty sunflower field glowing in the sun. I love going for rural drives and discovering these hidden surprises. Sometimes you can turn a corner and see something that takes your breath away for a few moments and induces and audible "wow". After a few minutes of soaking in the beauty, I get out my camera to try to capture the scene.
