Bringing in the harvest II Photo

Photographer’s Note

Hi all. I’ve been a little busy lately so it’s been a while since I’ve posted a photo. I also haven’t been anywhere special so this is from around home.
The crops have been harvested and are stored away for the winter and this is one of the trucks that bought it in. Taken just before sunset this truck returns for another load from the harvester in the field.
In WS a couple of photos showing the harvester at work.
Enjoy, Paul.

PS - There is a problem with TE. Today's renewal and ability to add new smiles has not been set up

Hi Paul
A good shot showing the dust at the end of the day. It implies motion in the truck. Now I feel like heading for the shower :))

hi Paul

This one is surely a coming home scene of the truck picking up dust on the dirt country road. Very good use of light+shadow effect and a well composed view, although I would look for a little brightness which is difficult at this hour of day. Good work.

tfs, bill

Hi Paul,

Great capture of truck coming and kicking up the dust. Nice use of light still can see the color and details in the truck. Great job Paul.

Regards
Jason.

Hi paul, I love the hues and the silhoiutes and the way you have compsoed this lovely scene. there's a sense of mystique and drama in your pov

jaywalker (12190) 2009-02-13 6:38

Hi Paul, It's always nice to see your photos & I like the way you have managed to capture the dust spraying from this truck it creates great movement, the backlight is very good & offers a sepia look, it’s nicely composed from a good POV, kind regards Wilson.

Docarmo (8820) 2009-02-13 9:39

Hi Paul,
This is art! It proves that being a good photographer, we can take a simple truck and have a fantastic shot! Apart from the superb mood and lighting, we can feel the movement of the truck.
Bravo!

stego (22350) 2009-02-13 15:56

Hi Paul,
I guess that it would be a much less interesting photo if it wasn't for the light management and the well thought framing. I like the use of the very long focal and the strange atmosphere created by the sun glowing in the dust created by the truck, which reminds a furious mechanical beast that is about to blow out the fence.
Regards, José.

robertosalguero (2763) 2009-02-14 1:00

Hi Paul,

Good to be back here and enjoy your images. This is an interesting image. Definitely a lot of dust behind the truck though! The framing of the truck and its red colour stand out in this view. Good work and a good weekend to you :-)

Hi Paul

Good graphism & silhouettes, with the truck making a superb centrepiece. I like the warm colours & dust being thrown up. Tfs!

papagolf21 (56233) 2009-02-14 1:18

Bonjour, cher Paul,
J'aime beaucoup l'ambiance qui se dégage de cette composition. J'ai l'impression de voir une image tirée d'un film. La beauté y est bien présente. Un grand merci également pour les photos publiées en bonus.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hello Paul,
Painting-like Picture.Regards.

josepmarin (33785) 2009-02-14 11:49

Hi Paul,
There is a good dynamic effect in this capture, in which you have caught the movement of the truck by means of the dust that raises in the road.
The weak light, the silhouettes of the trees, the dusty cloud, and the soft tones work very well in the composition.
Nice work, my friend.
Best regards,
Josep

gracious (20017) 2009-02-14 16:33

Hello Paul,
How are you and good afternoon from AKL!

many thanks for the sharing
take good care and my warmest regards
Tony

plimrn (19600) 2009-02-14 17:28

Hi Paul,
I really love the harvest sequence. The light here is lovely and you framed the truck well with the trees and your front gate. I was so entranced by the picture with the mountain in the BG that I played with it abit - I know playionbg with a WS picture is quite Kosher. If it bugs you, I'll be glad to take it down.
HLJ, Pat

Paul.
Well, life is not all about fun and travelling and photographing, we do have to eat and stay warm so, work is must, and I understand that we all have to be away from TE time and again. As for this photo, a good daily life image, I like that you show it in the very beautiful mood of the evening. The workshops are really impressive as well with the harvest and mountain view. Really beautiful country side and humble life of farmers. Thanks
Way

belido (16341) 2009-02-15 2:26

Hi Paul,

very nice mood. The effect of the dust and the back warm light is really interesting and make the image reading a lot pleasant. Very good daily life scene, great shot...and thanks for the photos in the ws. I hope you can back with the usual great photos we are used to see from you soon :)
Regards,
Carlos

Hello Paul,

very original and interesting shot of this moving truck.I like the speed impression in this shot.Very well done.TFS.

With regards from Luxembourg

Greg1949 (8507) 2009-02-16 12:23

Paul, this is a really fine shot, it is alive and in motion I think, he dust and the angle of the truck, maybe in a turn, is really well realized. Colors are all about hot and sweaty and work, you have done a great job on this one. The work shops also add to the overall.

Greg

A wonderful shot... Very good POV, contrast and superb light. Nice work!
Good morning

axiotea (16061) 2009-02-17 0:43

Hello Paul
It is the same place than the other image "you following me?" Anyway, the mood is completely different and here I like the contrast between the dark areas and the ones illuminated by the sunset colors. Thanks for the photos in ws.
Cheers
Marilyn

jmdias (19097) 2009-02-17 6:59

nice mood with the dust in the air, creating a shinning cloud with the golden light. Nice sillouets and pov

jafadabret (39441) 2009-02-18 2:51

Bonjour Paul.
C'est une photo reportage sur le travail des moissons bien complétée par les photos en WS. Ici c'est un contre-jour sur la camion avec une aura de poussière éclairée par les derniers rayons de soleil.
Excellent !
Jacques

feather (49858) 2009-02-18 7:59

I love the atmosphere you have captured here. The sunset light and colours somehow symbolises the harvest. The dust from the lorry adds a wonderful atmosphere. The extra images in the WS are very welcome for the harvest story.

Bonjour,
Belle photo de ce camion de transport de bestiaux entouré de cette brume.
Cela me fait penser a une matinée superbe pour le vol de bétail. Vous les avez pris en photo au moment opportun?
Merci du partage, la nature est jolie par n'importe quel temps.

Amitiés Thomas

Kielia (8397) 2009-02-19 8:51

Hi Paul,
these are different dimensions than those I am used to in my small place of the world! One can really see that agriculture in NZL is producing a market effect. I like the busy atmosphere very much! TFS!
Warm regards

Olá Paul

Ficou muito esta foto, gosto de ver esta poeira de estrada que se levanta e vai baixando devagar...belas cores.
Parabéns

siolaw (25722) 2009-02-19 20:38

Hi Paul,
The strong contrast silhouetting the trees and truck, and the salmon color tones of the sky both contribute to convey the atmosphere of that moment...

Hello Paul,

You took this picture on a very good moment.
Little bit misty background, trees to both sides as frame
The lighting and colors are great with excellent sharpness and detail
Very nice composition and colours too. TFS.

Have a nice weekend,

Ola Paul ,
Ficou linda a silhueta deste camião rodeado de poeira mostra a vida dura do campo , bom enquadramento da foto , gostei das cores, parabéns!!
Um abraço Gonçalo

Budapestman (41618) 2009-02-22 6:17

Hi Paul,
The special lights and the whipped dust provide a mystic atmosphere to the photo. The trees by which the lorry is framed beautiful, the composition is spectacular. The soft lights add a lot to the mood likewise. Splendid daily life shot. Have a nice Sunday!

BWJ (1771) 2009-02-23 20:08

Hello Paul,
This reminds me of a scene from a movie. An original capture, excellent POV, pleasant warm colors and good composition. I like it. I also like your workshops. The mountain in the WS is beautiful.
Kind regards,
Betty

danyy (68572) 2009-02-27 7:12

Bonjour Paul,
j'aime beaucoup ces lumières tamisées, elle donnent une de ces ambiances digne d'un film de poursuite.
La poussière dégagée par le camion, apportent de la dynamique et du mouvement.
Une excellente maitrise de ces conditions difficiles.
Have a great week-end.
Daniel.

Angshu (33585) 2009-02-28 2:11

Hello Paul
The dust thrown by the truck adds to the picture significantly. Like the soft pastel colours of sundown. The WS posts of harvesting are interesting as well. Good overall package!
Regards
Angshu

pablominto (40488) 2009-03-06 2:17

Hello Paul,

Interesting light situation, where the backlight serves to outline the truck!
The subject is also nicely framed by the trees, so I will say the moment is well captured..........
The colour tones definitely add a feeling of autumn..!
