Good Monday Greetings. I spent a fair amount of yesterday processing my restaurant shoot from Saturday. Bill Fortney says there are wonderful images all around you. One only needs to open one’s mind to see them. I’ll admit that I get in to a “farm scene” mentality and consequently that is what I tend to see and shoot, especially this time of year.
Abraham Maslow said, “He that is good with a hammer tends to see everything as a nail.” So if farm scenes are what I’m looking for who knows what wonderful photographic opportunities I’m passing up. So on the way back from lunch Friday I notice this pile of leaves, which had collected in a corner of a building. Hence the leaf shot. 🙂
Another nail? Perhaps, however even though it is a gate to a farm field, it is a gate that leads nowhere. At sometime this land may have served a purpose, now it is heavily overgrown with small trees and thick brush.
I really enjoy driving the back roads and looking at all the farms. Much of the land is barren now. Crops harvested and some ground even tilled a bit. Many farmers have injected fertilizer into their fields preparing them for their Winter’s sleep.
Another sign of late Fall, a mighty tree stands naked in a field. I would imagine this three had some colorful leaves a couple of short weeks ago, now it too settles in for the coming of Winter.
Jeanne’s first thought will be that I enhanced the sky in this image. I adjusted the contrast a bit to give structure to the clouds but I didn’t alter the color nor depth of the sky. It was that deep blue color Saturday late afternoon.
I almost forgot this image. I shot this last night. I went out on the back patio to test the temperature and noticed this wonderful late October Moon. I had to get my long lens (which hasn’t seen any action since last March) and see if I could capture a nice moon shot. 🙂
That’s it for today. Enjoy your Monday. Unlike some folks most of us have to report for duty today. Hope to have more for you tomorrow. Thanks for stopping by and be careful.
