Wheat Harvest

Tallboy

I helped a friend harvest the little bit of wheat he had this year - only 130 acres or so. It only took a few afternoons/evenings to get it out of the field. The first day, I took my camera along and got a couple shots I liked, figured I'd show them for some C&C:

1. Filling up the first truck load out of the field.



2. That first truck is the one I drive. They are slow, the radio doesn't work and the air conditioning is somewhat old fashioned...but I like it.



3. Early into the first evening of cutting a storm moved in - typical for this time of year. We scrambled to get the combine unloaded and the trucks tarped.



Thanks for taking a look!

The first two are straight off the camera (I've not had time to zap the dust spot that was on my filter yet...:cry), and the third is not an HDR - it's very close to the original - I only dropped the brightness a bit and bumped the contrast slightly, the original was just a bit overexposed. The light while the storm moved in was quite impressive.

Thanks for taking a look, glad you enjoyed them.

I shot all three with my Sigma 10-20mm. I like that lens a lot - its so much fun.

Thanks

Thanks for the response. I knew it was wide, I was just curious which lens you used.
