Well, to the Blue Blur of yesterday, of course.
This one I took a few days ago while driving back home from a farming session at the village.
In the tradition of making soft backgrounds and use almost no focus, almost no foreground, I turn yesterday's blue into yellow.
Camera Settings:
Aperture F 4; Shutter Speed 1/3200 of a second; Light Sensitivity ISO 200; Focal Length 200 mm.
Camera Model:
Canon EOS 30D with a 70-200 mm 4 L USM zoom lens.
A lot of use of random circumstances here, and some compositional theory put into practice where technicalities meet reality outdoors.
Both here and in the shot from my previous post, the one linked above, I actually use some small piece of foreground as a focus target. The whole point is, though, for it not to be a distraction.
We're about rhythm here, light and dark stripes, sunny and shady, lemon and grass, but no lemon grass.
Two purposes...actually three, one of them being making photographers busy...to such a field of rape seed. Feeding the cows or feeding the gas tank. And in the case of the so called bio fuels, it's quite far from self-sufficiency that it achieves, at least not for now. You can't complete the real goal when you're using the surface that would have kept many people fed. Less cows. Some of which would have kept some people fed some of the time.
Scaling is awful. In both cases but let's focus on our own family's consumption. A lot less if we ate the plants we could have grown. A lot more if we needed to feed a cow all of the time. It eats your food, in a way.
But not as bad as a bio fuel project.
Writing on a sleepy head as per usual, I am now into a period of...
Dreaming at you instead of sending messages well-thought. Who's to know what is well, though.
Peace and Barley!
