Happened upon this scene while walking across the campus of Johns Hopkins University.
DSC03777.jpgCheers Ken. I thought along similar lines when I took the picture but wheat these days is short-stemmed to minimise waste straw production. By the time I'd got down low enough to get both above the crop-line, it just didn't look as good. Should have done some re-positioning of the weed in hindsight...
Is that why we dont get fields of high wheat we can run through now?
I had the benefit of talking to a farmer recently about their methods. I thought it was just random, seed, feed, water, harvest... but actually it is a very exact science of how they do their farming now. They adjust the mix of their feeds and fertilizers etc really accurately changing the mix every few metres to be specific to that patch of their fields. Combine harvesters are VERY complex beasts being controlled using GPS mapped data and actively changing to give the land TLC
I mean it is mind blowing how complex and scientific it is these days. I was mesmerised at this guy using satellite, weather, soil sampling and other data to maximise the yields. Incredible!
Probably a duh! moment everyone else but I was fascinated
One more solar eclipse image. I made one of those collage things.
Saw a composite image on Instagram from someone of Antelope Canyon and a night sky, so thought I would have a bash from the my library... bit of a laugh... posted for your entertainment

This is the best I've seen from that place. Amazing work.
From the other week. It was a little dark under the trees, but I like the way he is positioned in the shot. Should have brought my 200-500!

No, it's because you've got much taller than when you were a kid
Cheers

Yes joking aside I like how you take a minimal angle with a limited amount of the subject in it, yet we know exactly what it is
Just to keep the sunset momentum going...Comments always appreciated.

My mother who is not really familiar with all the modern tech stuff and pfotography took this photo with natural "Bokeh" effect in her garden with her old iPhone 5C yesterday. I was impressed with the outcome so decided to share it there (took out some dry petal spots):
