300th Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Today it`s raining,it`s very windy and too cold for end of july.
Nearly every member has a hayroll in his/her gallery ,so after 299 posted images it`s time to post one,too.
This is the sky we had last sunday.A blue sky and low clods,a photographers delight.
I was driving around looking for fields with some working people,but the harvest is done.
This place is not far from my home and I pass it everyday on my way to work.
I can`t remember exactly which filter I used here,but I think it was the polarizer of course and a Gradual natural grey 1.

Congratulation on your 300th post. Thanks for all the great photos you have shared with us so far, keep up the good work.
Great shot with excellent lighting and colors. Your POV is great using the cuts in the field to lead the eye through the shot. The rolls of hay add many points of interest to the photo.

Superb Picture. Seems like I can jump and touch the clouds.

Fantastic clouds over these hayrolls. I like the long lines on the ground. Together with the clouds it gives a great feeling of immensity. Congratulations on your 300th!

Hi Andreas,
Congratulations for your 300th post and your first hayroll (I don't have one yet)! ;o)
At least you're having the good weather over the week-end and the rain during the week when you're working. Better than the other way around, no?
A very sharp and well composed shot. I love thse line on the right that take our eye to the very far end of the field. There also seems to be one un-disciplined roll that has decided to lie the other way around.
Regards, Brigitte

Hi Andreas

A classic scene maybe, but perfectly executed. POV, and detail are spot on, and the filters have combined to produce these wonderful clouds.

Regards

David

luisafonso (858) 2007-07-24 14:09

Hi Andreas! I have some photos lost in my hard drive very similar to this one. That means that I must love this one. ;) The diagonals of the cropped wheat, the game of dimensions, that fantastic clouded sky, the deep warm colors. It's perfect! Like it very much.

Zelanda (5692) 2007-07-24 14:20

Andreas congratulations on your 300th posting. I think the selection is excellent showing the gorgeous view across the land. The perspective lines in the field along with the bales is very complementary to the bright clouds above with the deep blue sky. It all came together very nicely here.. thanks Andreas for another fine perspective from your land. All the best to many more in the future on this site. Cheers... Paul

Vato_Law (11636) 2007-07-25 13:08

Hallo Andreas,
Congratulations for this 300th post but mostly for the quality of the work you've been showing us and delivering with your honest critiques.
Well, I can say that I am one of the few that don't have a picture with the hay rolls on the fields:), but I have one with them next to a farm wall, an old picture on my gallery.
About the photo itself, it's a really nice perspective along the field you show us with the lines formed by it leading really well the eyes across it. The hay balls break well the scene, and the beautiful clouded sky tops it perfectly.
Cheers.
Paulo

luiscar (3282) 2007-07-25 16:11

Hello Andreas
very typical excellent image in these dates, but yours is very well composed by photographic eye to obtain this big POV, I say it for as you have placed the first plane with the first roll and later them other two in diagonal.
congratulations for you 300.
big work
a greeting

Budapestman (40962) 2007-07-26 1:37

Hallo Andreas,
Congratulations for reaching this #300 milestone !
I see you used for this celebration the ever appreciated summer favorite of the hay balls, you got a great photo of it here, perspective, nice clouds coming back, effective polarization and the balls repetition, all these assets making it to the well deserved success of this pic to date, to which I'll gladly add a bit of green ;-)
Have a nice day,
jean-yves

rigoletto (25938) 2007-07-26 3:12

Hi Leo,
Great and classic photo to celebrate the 300th. Perspective has almost the taste of Renaissance paintings, i can imagine all the parallel lines leading to the horizon. Colors are beautifully saturated. Congrats, and may the next 300 come.

Hi Leo
Congratulations on your 300th post.
This is a great way to celebrate with a sharp, saturated, dynamically composed photo. The depth is amazing and I feel as though those clouds are going to fall on top of the hay bales.
Regards
Nikki

Hi Leo
A big congratulations on the milestone my friend. A masterly use of perspective & the polarised colours are fantastic. The cotton clouds floating in the sky also add to the composition. Lovely shot.
Regards
Angshu

josepmarin (33577) 2007-07-30 3:07

Hallo Leo,
Congratulations! Your 300 post already. I expect to see much more of your photos.
And a good composition to celebrate it, with the roll in foreground and the lines of the reaped field that escape towards the trees of background, with a great sensation of depth and perspective, which they contribute the dynamic touch to the scene.
Good setting following the rule of the thirds, and leaving this great space to the magnificent blue sky with the clouds, very well polarized.
It is a typical summer image, well done.
Best regards,
Josep

toto (18547) 2007-07-31 0:42

Excellent perspective with wonderful colors and a marvellous cloudy sky. Perfect placement of this first roll and impressive technical quality.

darrasin (2860) 2007-08-27 20:05

Hello Andreas! I am very jealous of your haystack shot. I don't have one in my gallery yet but I am working on it. This one is perfection, exploiting the wide-angle lens to exaggerate the stack against that beautiful sky.

Bravo!
