The farmer up the road began Organic Farming several years ago. The large round bails of hay are much different than the smaller square bails of my childhood. These large bails are very quickly wrapped in plastic, and resemble large marshmallows. Because they are so quickly wrapped, my time window for photographing the unwrapped bails is very limited. I stopped on my way to work to take this photo.
Lesson Learned:
- Try not to miss photo opportunities. Circumstances can change rapidly.
- I tried side lighting on this photo. This tip was from Scott Bourne .
- I should have used a narrower aperture in this photo. I did take some with a narrow aperture, but I framed the photo differently.
Photo details: Exposure time 1/800 sec, Aperture f/4.0, ISO 200, Focal Length 17 mm, Lens Canon EF 17-40mm, handheld, circular polarizer filter.
