Straw bale

Gallery: Man & NaturePosted August 5, 2011127 views5 comments

I am not really into landscapes and we don't have the spectacular stuff around where I live. I cant even remember why I took this but its one of the few with any landscape feel to it. I think he left the one bale because the tractor got bogged down.
Lost the exif I'm affraid ,but D200 Sigma18-50mm
70% of full frame.
Cheers

Hi John, nice photo, believe it or not this reminds me of Kansas were I grew up! The tracks are IMHO a very strong element which add to this image. Thanks for sharing.

Great sky, and the tracks lead visually right to the hay bale - great perspective you chose. The placement of the bale in the frame is also perfect.
Something different and I like it a lot!

Nice shot John. If you had said you were standing alongside Rob Graham in Central Kansas I would have believed you. The tracks lead the eye into the frame and right to the subject. The storm clouds add a nice offset to the hayfield.

Hi John nice to see a landscape from you and a very striking one too. Inspired me to post my long exposure effort.

Great lead in with the tracks John. I like how they appear to end at the bale of hay.
